Question

Wash the potato and cut it in half.
On the flat side of one of the halves, carve your design. You’ll put ink on the raised areas of your design and then press it onto a surface, so carve the design with the parts you want to see printed as raised areas. For our purposes, you don’t have to carve a fancy design (of course you can if you like). A circle, square, heart, letter, or anything simple will suffice. If you have a small cookie cutter or something similar, you can press it into the potato and carve out the area around it to create a design.
Blot the design part of the potato with a paper towel or cloth to make sure it’s dry.
Apply ink or paint to the raised areas of the carving.
Before you make a print, decide exactly where you want the design to go and make measurements to align it properly—measure the width/length of your design and the distance you want it to be from the edges of the substrate.
Firmly press the potato ink-side down onto the surface. Press for a few seconds—don’t move it while pressing or you’ll smudge the design. When you lift, lift straight up so you don’t accidently get ink where you don’t want it.

Answer 1

Wash the potato and cut it in half.

On the flat side of one half, carve your design. You'll put ink on the raised parts of your design and press it onto a surface, so make sure the parts you want to show up are carved higher. You don’t need to carve a complicated design; simple shapes like a circle, square, heart, or letter will work. If you have a small cookie cutter, you can press it into the potato and carve around it to make a design.

Dry the design part of the potato with a paper towel or cloth.

Put ink or paint on the raised parts of your carving.

Before printing, decide where you want the design to go and measure to align it correctly—check how wide and tall your design is and how far from the edges you want it to be.

Press the potato ink-side down onto the surface firmly. Hold it in place for a few seconds—don’t move it while pushing down or you’ll smudge the design. When you lift it up, pull straight up so you don’t get ink where you don’t want it.
