- Instructions
-
-
To begin, cut the potato in half (an adult's job). Use a pencil to lightly draw a holly leaf on the potato's surface. Cut away the parts of the potato around the design and blot it on a paper towel. To prepare the carrot, cut off the tapered end.
-
Pour a thin layer of green paint into a bowl and press the potato into the paint. Practice printing a few designs on scrap paper. -
Next, stamp a pattern of leaves to form a wreath on the front of the apron. For holly berries, dip the cut end of the carrot into the red paint (in a separate bowl) and dot the wreath with red prints.

- Variations:
- Use this same technique to accent cloth napkins or a tablecloth with holly prints or a wreath pattern. Or create holiday T-shirts or sweatshirts for the whole family.
