Who this list is for
This solar print nature flag craft is for 11-year-olds using pre-treated sun-print paper to create a nature-themed display. It uses flat leaves, grasses, or objects on the paper and does not require chemical mixing.
How to use this list
Choose flat leaves and grasses, then arrange them on sun-print paper over the cardboard backing board. Cover the arrangement with a clear acrylic sheet and hold it still with clothespins while it is exposed to sunlight. Follow the paper directions using the water tray, then blot with paper towels. Add captions with the fine-tip white paint pen, punch hanging holes, and attach finished flags to the white cotton cord and wooden dowel.
Common mistakes
Do not use thick or wet plant material, which may not lie flat under the acrylic sheet. Avoid moving the board during exposure. Do not collect protected plants; use common leaves and grasses already available. Keep completed prints separate while they dry.
