Potato Printing Tshirts
I try to get most of my toddler son’s clothes secondhand – though the older he gets the less secondhand clothes are available and I’m starting to realise why – toddlers get really dirty and active so the clothes don’t last. So I’ve started getting clever with his wardrobe. I’ve started buying affordable, well made, ethically produced plain tshirts and personalising them – and potato stamping is by far the easiest way to do it.
I feel like this is so simple it barely justifies a tutorial. Just peg the tshirt to some cardboard (so the paint doesn’t go through to the back of the tshirt). Then simply cut a potato in half, make a shape, dip it into fabric paint and blot it onto some paper towels (or brush the paint onto the potato stamp using a brush if you have one) then stamp it onto the tshirt. Then just let it dry.
