Directions:
- First things first – if you haven’t made your card yet, go ahead and do that. I made mine a basic square shape but yours can be any shape or size you like!
- Go ahead and also cut out a piece of white cardstock, that will fit to the front of your card. This is where we will be making our stamped scarecrow design on.
- Secure the white cardstock piece to the front of the card with a glue stick.
- Now grab your potato and knife.
- Cut your potato in half. You only need ONE potato half for your craft. This is your stamp for the scarecrow’s head.
- Squirt some brown craft paint on your paper plate.
- Rub your potato half in the brown paint, until it’s completely covered.
- Next take the potato half and stamp it in the center of the white cardstock.
- Lift up the potato half and set it on the paper plate.
- Now squirt the remaining craft paint on the paper plate and grab a small paint brush.
- Draw on some scarecrow facial features on the stamped design with the paint brush.
- When done decorating it, set it aside the card to allow it to dry completely.
- Now grab all your other remaining paper pieces and scissors.
- Cut out a simple hat shape and a rectangle piece for the center, to give it some dimension.
- When the stamped design from earlier is dry enough, go ahead and grab it, along with the glue stick.
- Secure the paper pieces to the stamped design.
- To finish off the potato stamped scarecrow card, use the Sharpie marker to write a clever message like “Happy Fall” to the front of the card, as well as anything else you like inside.
- Add any other embellishments you see fit, before gifting away your stamped potato scarecrow card proudly!
- Discard the used potato afterwards {please do not attempt to eat it afterwards.}
- Don’t forget to share pictures with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts
