"DIY: Ecoprint"

You will need:

• flowers and leaves;
• fabric;
• parchment (baking paper);
• hammer :)

Attention! In the process, children did not hurt anything as I gave all the instructions!

Experiment with different fabrics: flannel, linen, cotton. The print will be different.
This also regards intensity of the print: if you take a "fat" leaf, but beat it on the flannel, it will be bright. If you print a bluebell on cotton, it will be... Gentle :)

Then take the kids. Explain all the instructions clearly, give the hammer, they collect flowers happily themselves, and start doing ecoprint under your strict guidance!

A few photos of the process and the result:

Then, children begin to experiment and " mix " colors:

So many emotions :)

Over time, flowers fade, but... The pattern stays.

By the way, I used this technique for the lining of the cloak. That gentle bluebell :)
