A fresh piece of okra and some craft paint can create festive holiday cards.
I cut a piece of fresh okra about a quarter inch from the the stem to reveal the okra’s five holes and make a natural stamp with the stem as a handle.I cut the tip of the piece of okra to make berries and and Christmas bulbs.I used red and green craft paint with the okra stamps to decorate white card stock cards that came with A7 envelopes.The okra’s shape led me to create a wreath for one card.The sound of the word okra reminded me of the song O Christmas Tree, so I followed the whimsical feel of the sounds and made a card captioned “O, Okra tree! O, Okra Tree.
Vegetable stamping is a great craft for kids and adults.
