Gettin' Crafty with it over here! School's out for Con-Man so that means
This was a fun project, it brought back memories of stamping potatoes and celery as a child. This was a quick easy craft as well and I had all the supplies on hand except for the canvas tote bags. I found them at Walmart for $6 for a pack of 3.
All I did was cut the apple in half, brush on some paint and stamp away.
I tried to apply even pressure all around but my stamped apples kept turning out like this:
Which I choose to fill in but you could leave it as is; depends on the look your going for. Con-Man was able to help me out with this project. (Until he got bored 4 stamps in and ran off to play with cars.) He did proudly tell his teachers he helped out and that he "Made that."
About half way through I had this:
Which I thought about leaving but decided to stamp the rest of the bag.
And what teacher gift would be complete without some goodies inside? I made these awesome Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars I saw on Pinterest. Here's my awful IPhone pic that I apparently took in way to much of a hurry:
And here's what they really look like in all their sugary goodness:
It's a good thing I was giving these away because I easily could have eaten the whole batch on my own.
What are your summer plans for keeping kiddos busy now that school's out?
This is such a cute and economical idea!!
ReplyDeleteI loved to do potato stamping! What a great variation. I think I need a couple to bring to the Farmer's Market. Thanks for sharing on Tout It Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteGreat project. Easy too! Those cheesecake bars look wonderful. I do the same thing with my phone camera. No matter how still and careful I think I am I'm always shaking.
