  2. Prep your work area

    Pour paint into shallow dishes or trays for easy dipping. You can also work on a tray, to keep things contained!

  4. Add details

    Once your painting is dry, you can use a marker or pen to add details, or turn your flower prints into a picture, like this butterfly!

We love the way these flower prints came out! You can make them more abstract or use the flower prints to create a fun image, like the flowers in the vase.
