Oh man, I couldn’t have come up with a more frugal project if I tried, ha! The idea came to me after we received a package in the mail with gobs and gobs of kraft paper packaging. The paper wasn’t crumbled tightly and I thought I could reuse it for gifts. Fast forward a few hours, when I discovered that a handful of potatoes had the dreaded green sheen, and the potato stamped wrapping paper project was born!
My daughter and I followed this tutorial to make the stamps and then used washable paint (affiliate link) we already had in the school room. Zero dollars spent and it turned out adorable! My favorite frugal accomplishment of the month so far.
Very frugal and crafty 🙂
So cute! I like ordering our gifts and school materials from Rainbow Resource because they use brown paper as packing material. I use it even if it’s a little crumbly for wrapping our family gifts.
I’m definitely going to keep the paper if we ever get more! I think it would also be fun to spread on the floor for my little guys to draw on.
So adorable! I have a huge bag of potatoes that need used up here in the next week – you’ve got me excited! xxo
With a little bit of help, this would make a great preschool craft!
