How To Make Botanical Sun Prints | Cyanotypes
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 09. 2017
- Today we'll use pressed flowers and leaves to make beautiful botanical sun prints (also know as cyanotypes). Sun prints are basically just simple blue prints and they're named for their lovely shade of deep cyan blue. So let's hit the trail, pick some flowers, and preserve a little bit of summer!

I like how organic this technique is so pretty!
Pretttttty!! 😍
We made some the day of the eclipse! Lol....before coverage of course..
That's awesome. Never heard of this paper before. I learn so much every time you post a new video. Keep up the great work. I love how they turned out. Thanks so much for sharing. Have a great week. 🌿🍃🌾🌺🌼🌸🍁🍂🌻
Love this so much!!!
So cool! I had never heard of this but I watched your faux sun print vid and had to check it out.
Very nice. Never saw something like this before. Really would like to try it. Thanx for sharing.
Greetings from Germany
Thank you Shayda for this video. Loved it. And Ann of the Green Gabbles
Wow! What a fun kit. I've been wanting to try sun printing since I was a little girl. A relative gave me a flower press when I was probably about 10 or 11, and I still have flowers in it from way back then to now. I actually have no idea where in my craft room it is hiding, but I should dig it out and pickup that kit. I'm very impressed with your examples. Too bad it is raining here today right now!

Define very nicely, I recommend your channel for Artworks. Keep going like that.
Super cool! Thank you for introducing this to your subs. Excited to try this out =)
very cool, thanks for sharing!
Very cool. Thank you 🙏
Lovely. If you want them a deep blue expose them for about 10 mins. then after watching add a coupe of drops of peroxide They will turn a deeper blue immediately. Wash and wash as before. But I think you like the paler versions anyay? :-)
So cute
Such a fun and easy project with such spectacular results! I was wondering where you got those lovely black retro-style scissors? I think you said once in a video but I watch almost all of your vids and cant even begin to try to track down which one! Thanks!
You were good from starting 👍😊😉
How long do you press the flower and leaves
Can make botanical sun print on fabric...how to do it
good to see this on a rainy day, ah! 😅 I suppose that you don't necessarily need to use dried flowers and leaves, I was thinking...what if you used other props like those lovely scissors or pieces of dark paper cut in different shapes? Can somebody try and let me know cause I'm sure if I buy that kit, mine, too will sit somewhere for 2 years!
Yes, anything will work! This is just a negative image contact print, you can use anything to make your image. Try experimenting with household items, paper cutouts, whatever. And you can certainly use fresh (not pressed) plants. Pressing them just allows their details to lie in direct contact with the paper, so in theory, you'll get a more detailed, sharper image. Hope this helps!
Shayda Campbell thank you for replying, love your style Shayda 💜
How did you get the writing on the paper??
She mentions she used a white gel pen to write on it after it all dried.
