Gifting DIY: Fruit Stamping
So many lovely shapes. So many vibrant colors. Fresh fruit isn't just delicious, it's art.
Jul 15, 2014
What You'll Need:
- Assorted fruits (it's best to use varieties with distinct shapes like lemons, apples, pears, etc.)
- Fabric, textile or acrylic craft paints
- Paint brush
- Paper towels
- Light-colored canvas or fabric totes, aprons, tea towels, bags, pillow cases, etc. (check local craft stores for more things to stamp)
How to Stamp:
- Cut the fruit in half
- Pat dry with paper towel to remove excess juice
- Apply even coat of paint with brush (test stamp on paper first to make sure you're using the right amount of paint; too much will mask seed marks and other details, too little will leave blank spots)
- Stamp fruit onto fabric in desired location
- If necessary, use paint brush to touch up stamp or neaten edges
