Make a Bunny Ear and Bat Wing Tablecloth
It’s easy to customize your party decor with this simple grade-school craft. Carve various stamps from a potato and create a patterned cover for your dessert table.
Bring back the fun of potato-stamping by creating one to add bunny ears or other shapes to your party table. Little snippets of Elinor and her friends are everywhere with this fun project!
Materials
Directions
Start by carving your potato stamp. Using a small kitchen knife, carve two small bat wings, bunny ears, or round elephant feet.
Once you’ve carved out your shape, remove the outer area around the shape to create the raised “stamp” part.
Remove excess moisture from the potato by pressing against a paper towel several times.
Cut the brown paper the length of your table with a little extra hanging over each edge. Secure with tape.
Paint a thin layer of paint on the potato stamp. We selected black paint for bat wings and white paint for bunny ears, but you can choose whatever color combination you’d like.
Press the potato stamp firmly against the brown paper. Gently lift up to reveal the shapes underneath! Repeat as many times as you like creating a random pattern all over the table cover.
Let the stamped shapes dry and then place your snacks, presents, and decor on the table as needed!
Potato stamps are a fun and unique way to add some personalization to your party. The patterns are a nod to Elinor and her friends, and it’s a nice touch to your party setup! Because you’re working with a knife to carve the shape, please use caution and be sure that an adult does the carving. However, you can include your little one in the stamping fun afterward!
