DIY Potato Stamped Paper-bag Garland Tutorial(s)

Potato Stamped Paper-bag Garland


This tutorial is for an incredibly easy and extremely versatile 
Potato Stamped Paper-Bag Garland! 
These can be created for absolutely ANY occasion or Holiday.
The stamp can be made in  ANY shape or used in succession to create a print or pattern! 

What you will need: 

- a Potato 
- a Knife 
- Paint
- Brown paper bags OR just go ahead and use the potato bag... the inside is brown & no one will know the difference!! 
- Scissors
- Coloured rope 
- a Hot Glue Gun
- Glue-stick refills

Creating Your Potato Stamp 

Step 1.  Cut a potato in half 


Step 2. Draw Stamp Outline 

Draw on a heart OR whatever shape you have chosen & remember to get creative with it! 

Step 3. Cutting Out The Stamp 

Using a sharp knife trace out the shape of your image by cutting down into the potato (about a half inch deep) lay the potato on its side and gently cut in towards the heart (again about an inch down) until you have unveiled your stamp!  
 

Making Your Paper-bag Garland     

Step 1. Draw Garland Template


Draw out a template of the shape you have chosen for your garland - I went with a very simple design for mine. 

Step 2. Continue tracing and cutting out your template (you will want to make at least                 12  for a decent length garland)!

Step 3. Stamp Away 


Prepare all of your trays of paint ( do all the stamps of one colour, whipe off your stamp and continue repeating this process. 

Step 4. Assembling Your Garland  

Using just a very small amount of hot glue along the tops of your stamped pages, begin attaching them onto the rope ( leaving roughly 2-3 inches of space between each & remember to you leave enough room on the ends to hang)!!

With Valentines Day right around the corner I encourage you to make time for the People you LOVE most & Never Be Afraid To Shine A Little Brighter!
