There are so many cute leggings for girls out there, but its a little harder to find them for the boys. I have certainly found [and purchased] cute leggings on Etsy and Instagram though. Since we live in a colder climate- leggings work great for Ezra as they stay put and not ride up his legs!
I’ve wanted to try out potato stamping for a while now- so a dear friend and I got together and made a few pairs for our little ones! We headed to Target and bought blank leggings and over to Joannes to pick up some fabric paint [i used Martha Stewart paint for this project].
We used a steak knife to cut and carve the potatoes [im sure there are safer tools to use, but we used what we had on hand as this was just an experiment this time around]….and with paint brushes, we painted directly on to our carved potato stamp with fabric paint. Instead of applying fresh paint after each stamp- I stamped 2-3 times to give my design a variation of color and character.
I really do love how these turned out- the zigzag took a while to do, but if you keep with a simple and sporadic design…it’s a quick little project!
Have any of you mommas done this before? If so- and if you’ve blogged them- I’d love to see them! Leave your blog post url in the comment section below!
VOL25 - SOO cute Kelli! You’ve inspired me. 🙂 I wonder how a fabric paint marker would work on this kind of material, for the free handed zig zag dedsign.
Amy Conner - I don’t know which is cuter… those pants or that sweet boy. And I’m LOVING those chubby feet and toes!!!
Hugs and Love.
Melissa - I’m totally going to have to do this when Rhett arrives! Too cute!
