That is the proper time of 12 months to strive flower pounding! We made these candy little handmade playing cards for Mom’s Day, however they’d be nice birthday playing cards or thanks playing cards… and even simply to ship as a particular notice!
It’s useful to check out the flowers you intend on utilizing first, however we discovered that pansies and violets labored finest for us.
You’ll want:
- Watercolor or cardstock paper or a sturdy clean card
- Hammer (steel or rubber mallet)
- Painter’s tape (to carry every little thing in place)
- Parchment paper
- Freshly picked flowers, the brisker the higher
- Reducing board or one thing to guard your floor from dents
Start by taping your card or paper to the slicing board or desk with painter’s tape.
Take away the stems and any pollen out of your flowers (the pollen will go away nice large yellow blobs in the course of your flower print).
Then, lay out your flowers on the paper, face down. Place a chunk of painter’s tape over every flower to maintain them from sliding round when you’re hammering.
Place a chunk of parchment paper on high of the flowers and start evenly tapping every flower, ensuring to faucet across the edges of every flower. You wish to evenly faucet.
Lastly, take away the tape and thoroughly scrape away any flower bits to disclose your design.
These got here out so fairly, we will certainly be making extra!
