THE DIRECTIONS:
First things first – start off by cutting your large potato in half for your stamp. You will only need one half of the potato for this unicorn card craft. Save the other for dinner or for our Potato Stamped Turkey Handprints tutorial.
Next squirt some WHITE craft paint on a paper plate. Dip one half of the potato into the paint and smear it around, until it’s completely covered.
