Create Beautiful Sun Prints with Our Kit

Welcome to the world of cyanotype printing! With our Cyanotype Kit, you can easily create stunning blue prints right at home. The kit includes pre-prepared cyanotype paper and dried-pressed flowers, making it simple to start your creative journey without any hassle. Just arrange the botanicals, let the sun do the work, and enjoy the beautiful results!

What’s Included in Your Cyanotype Kit:

  • Pre-prepared cyanotype paper (ready to use)
  • Dried-pressed flowers (included for instant use)
  • Instruction for quick reference
  • Online tutorial video (to guide you step by step)

How to Create Your Cyanotype Prints:

1. Prepare Your Workspace:

Find a clean, flat surface in an area without sunlight to set up your cyanotype paper.

2. Arrange Your Botanicals:

You can use the dried-pressed flowers provided in your kit, or you can experiment with your own botanicals. Simply place your flowers or other objects on top of the cyanotype paper. Play around with different compositions to create your desired effect—whether you’re looking for delicate outlines or bold contrasts.

3. Expose to Sunlight:

Take the paper outside and place it in direct sunlight. Leave it under the sun for about 20-30 minutes (the exact time may vary depending on the strength of the UV rays, the lower UV rays the longer exposure time). 

4. Rinse and Reveal:

Once your exposure time is up, gently rinse the paper with cool water and dip it in water for about 10-15 minutes. The areas covered by the botanicals will remain white, while the exposed areas will turn a vibrant blue, creating a beautiful print.

5. Dry and Enjoy:

Lay your print flat in a shaded area to dry. Once it’s completely dry, your cyanotype print is ready to frame, gift, or display!

Watch the Process in Action:

To help guide you through the process, we’ve created a video tutorial. It’s quick, easy, and will show you exactly how to create your own cyanotype prints from start to finish!
