1. Gather Supplies
Find some leaves, flowers, or pine needles from around your neighborhood.
2. Cut out letters
If you would like to add words to your wreath, cut out letters from computer paper. You can also use letter stickers or stencils!
3. Apply Inkodye
Spread your inkodye evenly across your fabric.
4. Blot
Use a paper towel to remove extra inkodye, make you the fabric is damp but not soaking wet.
5. Arrange your wreath
Place your plants in a circular arrangement. It is really helpful to have a pane of glass or acrylic to lay over your plants to make sure they are flat against your fabric
6. Expose
Bring your print out into the sun and expose until the color has fully developed!
It was a cloudy day at Lumi HQ, so we used our UV Light set up. Learn more about printing with UV light here >>
7. Remove Shadow Objects
8. Wash
Wash your fabric in a washing machine with Inkowash. Be sure to wash on hot and rinse on cool. We recommend washing your fabric twice to ensure all the Inkodye is removed.
9. Display
You are ready to hang your wreath!
