How to make Bell Pepper Shamrock Stamps:

  • Bell pepper (bonus points if you can find one with four lobes to make a four leaf clover!)
  • Craft paint
  • Knife
  • Paper or fabric surface

Use A Bell Pepper As A Shamrock Stamp

Start by cutting the bottom third off of your bell pepper. Make sure it’s a nice flat cut so that all edges of the pepper will hit the paper at the same time. You don’t need to pull out the seeds unless they are close enough to the bottom that they will get paint on them.

Pour a little bit of craft paint onto a paper plate and then place the top half of your bell pepper into the paint with cut edge down. Move the pepper around a little to make sure all of the edges are evenly covered in paint.

Then pick up the pepper and firmly stamp it onto a piece of paper!

Ta-da!

If you want to add a little stem to your shamrock, you can tilt the pepper and stamp again with just one edge of the pepper.
