Cyanotype Sun Print DIY Kit

Cyanotype is the process of applying a chemical solutions in combination with UV exposure (Sunlight or artificial UV light) to either paper, uncoated canvas or fabric, to produce bright blue prints. This process was first used in 1842 in the making of classical building blue prints, hence the term.

Today this method is popular for use in photography and art.

Glass to secure your print on the paper/ fabric (glass panel from a picture frame could suffice)
