Last week The Tip Junkie shared a pretty cute okra stamp art project from bloesem kids.
I knew this would be a great inside project for me and the kiddos to work on..."inside" being the key word here, apparently my area of the world wanted to show off today and break some record highs for this time of year..... I don't think it's very nice to show off, I just wish the heat understood this concept....
Anyway...
Back to the project.....
Okra Stamp Art
Supplies: Okra, paint (I used acrylic) paper to stamp on
First, cut the Okra into 2 inch pieces...just make sure you cut a very flat edge so you will get a good stamping action...and remove any of the seeds just at the top of the stamp

Then...you are ready to stamp away! I used 3M brand postal wrapping paper from the Dollar Tree store to make custom wrapping paper
Such a fun and easy project to use up some of the tons of Okra we have growing in our garden.... Do you have any other fun stamping ideas?? My kids loved this so much and keep asking "what else can we stamp??"
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
I'll be linking up with these great parties:
Guess this goes to show you can use almost anything as a stamp! Thanks for making me think "outside the box!"
ReplyDeleteI'm allergic to okra so that will be 1 tip I would not try...

I love this idea! We have tons of okra growing in our garden and I'm running out of recipes so this would be a fun way to use some of it up!

Very cool idea! I don't think I have every seen okra, so I wouldn't have known that you can turn them into stamps. It reminds me of the cranberry stamps I tried out once. Stamping with food is fun!

ReplyDeleteWho would have thought....what a great idea this is such adorable wrapping you and the kids have created. My boys would love to give this one a try!
ReplyDeleteMarianne :)
Oh cute! I've used potatoes, carrots and apples but never thought of okra!
ReplyDeleteI run Fun Family Crafts, a site similar in nature to Craftgawker and Spotlight, but different in that it's a library of craft tutorials geared only at kids. I would love it if you'd stop by and submit this to be featured! (I link to you, I don't post your tutorial on the site) Feel free to submit as many kid friendly craft tutorials as you like! http://funfamilycrafts.com/
excellent idea! I like to use common items as stampers too but have never tried okra - I definitely will - your results perfectly wonderful! xo Diane
ReplyDeleteWhat an AWESOME idea!! I would have never thought of this...probably because I would be too busy eating the okra! Mmmmm :) I'd love for you to link up at my Tuesday Tutorials Link Party!

Finally, a use for okra! I'm never gonna eat it, but this I would try.
ReplyDeleteSaw this on Fun Family Crafts and LOVE IT! So cute and easy to make.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to do this in the morning with my granddaughters. I've got a lot of okra that got too big to eat. Great idea! Thank you so much for linking up!
