I Made Sun Prints with Turmeric from My Kitchen (So Easy!)

Did you know you can make beautiful sun prints with turmeric from your kitchen? 🌿☀️ All you need is a spice from your cupboard, some rubbing alcohol, pressed flowers, and a sunny afternoon. The flowers block the sunlight while the rest of the paper fades, so every leaf and petal leaves a lovely detailed print behind. Then a quick baking soda bath turns the yellow into a rich, rusty red. It's like magic!

These turmeric sun prints (also called anthotypes) are perfect for junk journals, greeting cards, bookmarks, and mixed media art. They're a fun project to do with the grandkids, too.
