3. Cut away the part of the potato
that isn’t part of the design. The
design should stand up about V«
inch when you finish cutting.
4. Brush paint on the design or
dip the potato into the paint.
5. Paint the design on paper by
pressing. But don’t press too hard
or you’ll have mashed potatoes.
Don’t be discouraged if your first
prints aren’t too terrific. It takes
some experimenting.
0. Remember: The potato has to
be repainted before every {Mint.
Once you get a good print, try it
several ways: sideways, upside
down, even overlapped.
