I came across a couple of potato printing photos on Flickr last week and it gave me an idea for Valentines. So Em and I got busy stamping a lovely potato print card for daddy, and then out came the fabrics … and we got a little carried away!This is a really easy tutorial to do with the little ones using cover buttons and hair accessories, like bobby pins, elastics etc – Any size buttons will work, but for reference here’s what I’ve used: Headband - one size 22mm (US size 36), one 28mm (US size 45) and one 38mm (US size 60) / Bobby pins - two size 28mm (45)
I think they would make lovely handmade birthday gifts for all the little ones friends. We stamped hearts as we were doing a Valentine print, but you could cut any shape or design you fancy. You could even personalise them with alphabet rubber stamps to make them extra special.
