Instructions
Step 1: For this craft we are going to need to go outside and gather the nature items we want on our print. You can collect all sorts of things from outside like grass, flowers, rocks, twigs and leaves.
Step 2: Once you have collected all the nature items you would like, it is time to start painting. The first step is by painting one side of the nature item.
For example: paint one side of the leaf.
Step 3: Once you have painted one side of the nature item, it is time to transfer the paint to the paper.
Using the unpainted side as a handle, drop the painted side on the piece of paper, like a stamp. Do this with all different types of nature items until you get the design you want.
Step 4: Show your beautiful art print off to friends and family!
