> 1.Wash and dry the fabric and use no fabric softener. Place the
> desired material on top of the foam board. Foam board is used
> because it can be wiped off with wet paper towels between
> colors and reused. Make several test sheets for stamping by
> folding two paper towels together.
> 2.Cut the potatoes in half long ways. Use the pencil to draw on
> the potato the design you want to print. Cut away the part of
> the potato that is not part of your design. Simple designs
>work
> best.
> 3.Pour small puddles of paint onto the paper plates. Apply the
> paint to the design using the sponge brush and place the
>design
> in the desired place. Two or more colors can be used on the
> same potato but use separate sponges for each color. You can
> make light impressions of the design by applying it a second
>or
> third time on the same material but at a different angle. You
> can also use two shades of the same color but do one color at
>a
> time. You can use the folded paper towels to test your image
> before placing it on your project. Don't move the potato as
>this
> will blur the image produced. Use a cotton swab to remove any
> unwanted paint on your potato before applying it and for
> touching up any missed spots. Wash the potato between colors
> and be sure to wipe off your foam board with a wet paper
> towel often, to prevent any transfer of paint.
> 4.If using a fabric for this project, let your fabric dry flat
>and do
> not wash it for at least 72 hours.
> Note: Fabric Paint can be used for this project.
