Unleash your creativity with this summery crafting fun where cyanotype printing meets decorative stamps! Cyanotype is a fascinating technique in which sunlight or UV light triggers a chemical process that leaves a blue-and-white image on special paper. It is incredibly easy to learn and apply this technique. All you need is the craft kit, plants & grasses, optionally some decorative stamps, and sunlight. First, select the grasses, flowers, and blossoms you would like to use. Then, place the cyanotype paper in the sun and arrange the grasses on top. After a certain exposure time, remove the paper and rinse it thoroughly with water. This creates a fascinating blue-and-white image that shows the imprint of the decorative stamp. This crafting activity is not just for children; it also delights adults of all ages. It is a wonderful way to be creative together as a family and create new works of art. You can use the cyanotype images as postcards, wall decorations, or gift tags, for example. The possibilities are endless and the results are always unique and impressive. To inspire you with our creativity, we have created a DIY video in which we show step-by-step how you can also implement cyanotype with decorative stamps; you can see how easy it is and how much fun it is to create your own works of art. Let yourself be inspired by the various stamps and try out different techniques to achieve unique results. The instructions in the kit are in Dutch, English, French, and German.
