Sun Prints, an easier version: Photo 1. Start with black construction paper. 2. Arrange found objects on the paper - we used flowers and leaves gathered in the backyard. 3. Cover with glass or plexi to hold everything in place. 4. Place in direct sunlight. 5. The sun will fade the black paper, leaving you with a beautiful and surprisingly detailed print! Ours took several days to fully fade, this will depend on the strength of sunlight.
