1. Wash potatoes and cut them in half.

2. Draw the shape you’d like for your stamp.

3. Cut around the shape, about a quarter-inch deep until your shape is defined and sticking out from the rest of the potato.

4. Put paint in a shallow dish. If you’re using different paint colors, rinse and completely dry the potato before using a different paint color.
