This project was so much fun and super EASY!

Supplies

1 bunch of lettuce still attached at the base
Knife
Paper Plate
Craft brush
Paint

Make the stamp by cutting your lettuce all the way through about 3 inches up from the base. (Now go make a nice salad with the remaining lettuce)

 With a craft paintbrush, apply a light coat of paint to the exposed lettuce ends.

 Firmly press the stamp onto the paper and remove. Repeat to create your design.

This is a great solution for dressing up plain wrapping paper and stationery. I can’t wait to try this for Christmas!

This is a perfect project your kids can join in with and try mixing up the vegetables with celery, radish, peppers, and potatoes. Get creative and have fun!
