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!
- Now grab your large potato and knife.
- Cut your potato in half. You only need ONE potato half for your craft. This is your stamp for the polar bear’s head.
- Squirt some white craft paint on your paper plate.
- Rub your potato half in the white 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.
- Real quick, using the small paint brush or your finger, add two white ears on your stamped design.
- Set aside the card to allow it to dry completely.
- Now grab your gray cardstock paper and scissors.
- Cut out an oval nose piece for the polar bear.
- Use the Sharpie marker to draw on a nose/mouth on the oval shape.
- When the stamped design from earlier is dry enough, go ahead and grab it, along with the glue stick.
- Secure the paper piece to the stamped design.
- Add on the wiggle eyes.
- To finish off the potato stamped polar bear card, use the Sharpie marker to write a clever message like “love you beary much” 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 polar bear card proudly!
- Discard the used potato afterwards {please do not attempt to eat it afterwards.}
