Following the directions in the Sun Sensitive Papers, layout your pattern before taking the paper outside and into the sunshine. The day I created these was slightly breezy, so I pinned my paper down. I used pipe cleaners and the bulk feathers to create my designs.
Tip: Keep your paper in the sun for up to two minutes (depending on the sun intensity) and then come indoors
Submerge the paper in clean water for one minute. Set paper aside and allow to fully dry.
While my feather paper designs were drying, I got started on adding some color to my picture frames. I taped off the frames and used pastel acrylic paint color.
Once my paper was dry and ready to put in the frame, it was time to cut them down to size. A simple trick for doing this, is removing the glass from your picture frame and tracing it onto your paper. This helps so you can center your feather art. Next, just follow your markings and cut out the artwork.
Assemble the artwork in your frames and you are ready to display!
Be sure to check out our other Supply of the Month projects including these projects using the feather assortment.
