Artable

Make a Beautiful Rose Stamp From a Head of Celery

The mighty potato has some stamp competition

We were bowled over with out dead-easy this pretty art activity is. Big ups to Craftsy for the idea. Simply cut off the bottom of a head of celery, apply some tempura (or fabric!) paint and stamp it on an appropriate surface. Plus, you could have a pre or post craft ants-on-a-log!

This isn’t to say we don’t still love the potato stamp. Believe us, we do. And while we can’t read any of this Russian (?) kids website, their ideas are also pretty great. We love the potato for its versatility and celery for its floral appearance, but don’t forget about starfruit, apples, citrus, the list goes on and on. We think decorating a few canvases or tote bags would be an excellent way to spend the last bit of winter break.
