Materials

  • White cardstock or watercolor paper, 1 sheet (A4 or 8 × 10 inches)
  • Empty plastic bottle, 1 piece (500 ml size works well)
  • Washable or acrylic paint in soft pink, about 15 ml
  • Brown or dark green paint for branches, about 5 ml
  • Small paintbrush, 1 piece (thin or medium)
  • Shallow bowl or plate for paint, 1 piece
  • Paper towel, 2–3 sheets
  • Scrap paper for testing, 1 sheet

Instructions

  • Pour a small amount of pink paint onto a shallow plate and spread it into a thin, even layer.
  • Press the bottom of the plastic bottle gently into the paint, making sure the petal edges are coated.
  • Next, press the bottle straight down onto the paper, then lift slowly to reveal a flower shape.
  • Repeat stamping to create a cluster or branch of blossoms, spacing them naturally.
  • Dip a brush into brown paint and paint thin lines to connect the flowers into a branch.
  • Allow the artwork to dry completely before handling or displaying.
