30 January 2015

Use a small bunch of celery to create this delicate rosebud print.

TIP
Place an old towel underneath the brown paper before you start. Working on a soft surface will make the rosebud prints more prominent.

You Will Need

• roll of brown paper
• craft paint
• stencil foam brush
• small bunch of celery

1 Cut off the celery stalks near the root, using a sharp knife.
TIP Use masking tape or an elastic band to tie the individual stalks into a neat bunch.

2 Group the stems together firmly and blot the ends on a sheet of paper towel to get rid of any excess moisture

3 Dab your stencil foam brush in some craft paint and apply it to the ends of the celery stalks.

4 Press celery roses onto the brown paper. Reapply the paint as needed and keep going to cover the entire sheet of brown paper with flowers.
