DIY Wall Print (with a POTATO)
I've been itching for some new wall decor, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money. That lead me this simple, free DIY art, made with - you read that right - a potato! You can do this with any colors you want, and if you're feeling especially adventurous, you can even change up the stamp shape.
What you'll need:
A canvas (printer paper, contact paper, fabric, anything!)
Paint
Potato
Step 1: Cut potato
I cut my potato lengthwise and then again (because I wanted the flat bottom), but you can cut it however you want. I think circles would be nice too.
Step 2: Mix paint
For my potato art I used gray and blue paint, but you can use however many colors you want.
I wanted some variation in each stamp, so I put a bit of each color on a paper plate and mixed them randomly with the potato stamp as I went.
Step 3: Stamp
Stamp the potato firmly on the paper. I dipped the stamp back in the paint every one or two applications, which also helped achieve some variation in the print.
I'm really happy with how it came out. I mean really, I don't think you can go wrong with $0 wall art?! I think I'm going to try to make a new frame for this too- so stay tuned for that!
