Make Art with Flowers

Introduction:

Spring brings lots of flowers all around us. But did you know that you can make some art prints from your favorite fresh blooms? This week we will transform fresh flowers into a gorgeous art piece. Collect a few flowers, and let’s turn them into great gifts! We will use a technique called Transfer, which means moving an image from one surface to another, usually achieved by placing a material in between the image and the surface and rubbing the back of it so that the image is copied.

Materials:

Fresh cut flowers (flowers with brighter pigment like bright yellows and dark purples transfer the best), Hammer or coin, Waxed paper or paper towel, Watercolor paper (or any white paper), Pencil, Scissors, Cookie cutters (optional)
