Food Stamping

Posted on September 14, 2011

Stamping has always been a lot of fun especially with food, and kids just love stamping with fruits and vegetables. Potato, apple, celery, strawberry…they all make beautiful paintings and prints on papers and fabrics.

You could create a beautiful celery stamped gift wrap or send the sweetest apple card that smells like happiness to someone special.

So beautiful! Food stamping reminds me of my childhood days, where we do this for art class. So fun!

It is so simple… and the simplest ideas are often the hardest to come up with! I am very good at overcomplicating stuff and therefore usually uglifying things instead of beautifying them. This post again reminds me that often less = more, and that it is not always necessary to have lots of crafttools to make pretty things. I pinned it to Pinterest on my ToDo list .

These all turned out beautiful! I love the apple stamp.
