Use a cookie cutter and press into the flat side of a sliced apple or potato.  You now have your very own fruit or veggie stamp.  Use it to personalize wrapping paper or stationery.

You can use a sharp knife to to freehand the shape of your choice.  I even saw an image recently of a rose-shaped stamp made from the bottom of a bok choy stem after use.  Brilliant and thrifty!

Don’t buy another rubber stamp for your craft projects!  Make a fruit and veggie stamp of your very own!
