Stamped with potato-print acorns and leaves, these linens lend a child's imprint to an Autumn table or a holiday feast.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Potatoes
X-Acto knife White cloth napkins and table runner Paper plate Yellow and orange acrylic paints | |
| Seasons: Christmas, Fall, Thanksgiving, Winter | |
| Materials: fabric, food items, paints | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  To make the leaf, cut a potato in half lengthwise (a
parent's job). Using an X-Acto knife, cut three wedges out of
each side of the potato and a stem at the bottom. Cut veins out
of the leaf's center. |
| 2. | For the acorn, cut a piece of a potato into a 1-inch square, round the edges leaving a stem, and cut a line that separates the top one third from the bottom two thirds. |
| 3. | Lay the napkins and runner flat. Pour a few nearly overlapping lines of orange and yellow paint onto a paper plate. |
| 4. | Press each potato stencil into the paints, then press onto
the fabric. Continue until you've finished your pattern. Let dry
at least overnight, then put in a hot dryer for about 30 minutes
(this sets the paint so it's machine-washable).
