We made this with an oatmeal container covered in canvas. I hot glued straw around the bottom and top rim. Using potato halves I created stamps by cutting away the excess of the shape. Keep in mind that for letters, you have to make the stamp backward so it will appear correctly on the stamped surface. I squirted acrylic fall paint colors on paper plates and with my assistance, Asher got to stamp into the paint and then onto the fabric. Don't rinse off your stamp before changing colors if you want the multicolored leaf look. Glue on all kinds of fancies and have a great time Being a "use what ya got" kind of gal, I used canvas but burlap would be awesome. I'm sure some mums or some prettier foliage would also be nice but these are just leftover stems from wreaths that I've made in the past. Asher enjoyed it and loves having things placed around the house that he has done.
