Potato prints are a great way to make simple patterns. Place them on a tea towel like I did, print designs on a tote bag, use it to make a pretty border on a skirt or fabric napkins, use it on the background of a sign. Anywhere you need a simple pattern, you can use a potato to make patterns. Before we get started making these fun and flirty heart potato prints on fabric, here’s a few things to consider:- If you’re using a potato as a stamp, the shape or pattern you’re trying to make needs to be basic. You will have to cut out the design by hand with a knife and the simpler, the easier.
- You can use a linoleum cutter for intricate designs if you have the patience (and aren’t clumsy).
- Use a big knife to cut through the middle of the potato. This will give you the flattest edge possible.
- Do a test print before you put the paint on your final surface. Sometimes the potatoes might have a depression in the middle or an area that’s not even. Do a test print first!
