Create Celery Flower Stamping Art

We had so much fun with our fruit stamping crafts.

So, we’ve decided to add celery to the mix! One of the reasons I wanted to do celery stamping is because it looks like a flower! How cool is that?

This is a perfect craft to do when your going to have some celery for a snack that day! Snacking and crafting now that’s what I’m taking about! We actually did a couple different crafts with this one.

There was just so many ideas I had to do them all!

Getting Started

I grabbed some celery and a couple different paint colors. Since the stamp is going to look like a flower I wanted to use some “flower-y” colors.

Step 1 – Cut Your Celery

I cut the bottom half of the celery stock off to create our flowers.

Step 2 – Dip Your Celery in Paint

I had my son gently dip his celery into the paint making sure it was completely covered so we would get a nice flower shape.

Quick Tip: If you see that the paint is a little “gunky” in spots just blow on it and it will “pop” the air bubbles.

Step 3 – Stamping Your Flower

Stamp your celery gently on the paper creating your flower. He was amazed that it actually looked like a flower! We have done several food stamping crafts but I think this was by far his favorite.

Quick Tip: The best way to have your paint ready is by using a large paper plate. Make sure your paint is spread out over the plate and your ready to go!

Step 4 – Finishing Touches

We did a couple different ideas. Some I just had him stamp the celery all over the page and another we actually tried making a bouquet. I was really amazed at what a great job he did once he got the hang of it.

My flowers are on the right, I can’t let my little guy have all the fun!

Our attempt at celery stamping was a success!! Yay!! It does take a little practice to get it since the paint can get a little gunky but the results are well worth it, just have a little patience.
