MAKE: Sun Print Pictures

Sun Print Paper

A quick and easy make for a nice sunny day which produces amazing results every time!

You will need:

  1. Sun print paper (available from most good craft stores)
  2. A selection of leaves and flowers
  3. Sunshine

Instructions:

Sun Print Paper

Gather together a bunch of leaves and flowers with interesting shapes and lay them out onto a sheet of sun paper.

Do this in a shady room inside to stop the paper from exposing too soon.

When you are happy with your design carefully transport the paper out into a sunny spot outside and stand and watch the paper turn white. The sunnier the weather, the quicker this will happen.

Remove the leaves and flowers and run the paper under the cold tap for a good minute or so and leave to dry. The exposed areas will turn a fabulous indigo blue as it dries.

Stand back and admire your creations!

thanks

 Oooh lovely. I bought chemicals to do this after being inspired by the cameraless photography exhibition at the V&A back in February. I was waiting for sunshine but haven't got round to it yet. I'd better get in there before it's winter again. Thanks for reminding me!
