Garden crafter Lark Foster shows how to make attractive herb pictures to add color and texture to a room. Materials:
Picture frame
Construction paper
Stencils of the letters L and P
Lavender
Paprika
Scissors
Yellow rice paper
Permanent black marker
White glue
Optional: small paintbrush
- If necessary, reduce the letter L stencil on a copy machine to fit the desired picture frame. Cut out the stencil (figure A).
- Center the cutout letter L stencil on a piece of yellow rice paper, and trace around the stencil with a permanent marker (figure B).
- Spread white glue over the letter L inside the marked lines. Use the glue straight from the bottle, or spread it with your finger or a small paintbrush (figure C).
- Sprinkle lavender over the glue, pressing it down (figure D).
- Remove excess lavender, and let the glue dry overnight.
- Place the rice paper in a picture frame.
- Repeat the same steps with the letter P, and sprinkle paprika over the glue.
