How to Make a POTATO STAMP

In this post, I’m going to teach you how to make a potato stamp to print fabric, the right way, for beautiful results.

CUT THE POTATO IN HALF

Decide what size potato you need and cut it in half. Choose your potato size based on the shape and size you want your stamp to be.

1

Sketch or score your pattern on the potato

Next, you need to draw the pattern onto the potato. You can use a marker to sketch the pattern or a sharp object like a small knife or a pin to lightly score it onto the cut surface of the potato.

2

Cut the edges to establish the depth

Cut a rectangle around the pattern, about 1/4″ inch deep, to mark the depth you’ll cut your potato stamp to.

3

Cut out your potato stamp pattern

Now cut out your pattern! If the potato stamp pattern you’re creating has all straight lines this is easy!

4

Brush a thin layer of paint on the stamp shape

Take your painted potato stamp and press it firmly and cleanly onto your fabric. Don’t wiggle it around! Press straight in and pull straight out.
