I found this great DIY on Design Happens, and it fit so well into this month's theme and Earth Day that I had to share.
Here's What You Need
- Plant cuttings from your yard or a nearby park (remember to only take one from each plant)
- Clear acrylic finish
- Plexiglas frames to match number of cutting you want to frame
- Matting to match number of frames
- Watercolor paper
- Hot-glue gun
To find out how to put these botanical prints together, read more.
- Gather cuttings that you like from your yard or a local park. Let the cuttings dry to ensure that they'll maintain their colors.
- Spray the cuttings with a clear acrylic finish, which will protect the color.
- Purchase Plexiglas frames and mat board for the back.
- Hot glue the clippings onto heavyweight watercolor paper.
- You can also write each clipping's botanical name onto the watercolor paper.
- Assemble into the frames.

2Neat but I'd be weary them would turn brown.
