Ready to make a big roar at your next event? We have been wanting to make our own curry stamps for a while now and finallywe place the job to the test! With wild creatures on our head due to our newest safari baby shower set, we chose to create animal print stamps to use on cloth scraps for any safari-inspired event. Keep reading to see how we left this thought come to life.
Here Is What you will need:
- Potatoes
- Exacto knife
- Cloth napkins
- Acrylic paint
- Paint brushes
- Kitchen knife
First off, cut your potato in half by means of a kitchen knife and place on a paper towel. Have the interior of the potato wedges facing downwards in the paper towel so that any extra moisture could be soaked up. This will help to prevent your paint appearing watered down in the future. Let your potato halves dry and sit out for an hour. (While drying, you may see that the potato starts to turn a brownish color such as in our photo. No worries! This is completely normal and won’t influence your stamp.)
Next, it is time to choose what shapes that you want to cut into a potato halves. We chose on giraffe and lion footprints to our Xmas motif. Just use your exacto knife to cut out the contour in the curry. You can draw your shape using a mark to begin with to easily see the shape you are creating.
Now use a paint brush to paint your favourite colour on the raised shape on your potato. Stamp on your fabric napkin, reappling paint to the potato after every stamp for consistency. Then just let your leftovers atmosphere dry. It is really that easy.
We love how natural and fun that these napkins turned out. What do you believe? Have you ever attempted curry stamping before?
