Perfect size for crafting gift cards or framed prints , tare into smaller pieces if you wish to make small note cards and scrapbook embellishments.
Experiment exposing at different lengths of times to gain various depths of blue. Try different plants or write on glass to make art prints.

Making prints is fun and easy simply take your kit to a dimly lit space, remove one sheet from your kit sit it on top of a sturdy surface like a book, place the plants you wish to print on top of the treated side of your sheet place in your cellphone bag to hold plants in place and use a clothes peg to secure your layers.
Or alternatively substitute the cellophane bag with a piece of clean glass from a old picture frame. ( this works well because the weight helps the plants to contact the paper )
Parental supervision advised here.

Now you are ready to expose your paper to Ultraviolet rays , the sun is a perfect source for this, expose for 5-20 minutes or until your paper turns beige
The longer the exposure the deeper the blue !
Fix in water and wait 24 hours for the blue to develop to its full potential.
