Get App Styrofoam is bad for our environment. Recycle it by using it to make art! @ms.lemon on

Get App For printmaking, your surface needs to be flat to start. Cut out a flat part to work with. 1 @ms.lemon on

Get App Transfer your design onto the styrofoam— your pencil will leave grooves in the foam. 2 @ms.lemon on

Get App Go over the grooves, making sure that the lines are deep and even. 3 @ms.lemon on

Get App Soak your paper (index cards work well!) briefly in water and dry it so that it’s soft and damp. 4 @ms.lemon on

Get App Traditionally, artists use a brayer to roll ink over the surface of their relief printing plate. 5 @ms.lemon on

Get App They roll the ink evenly over the surface— coloring the surface and leaving the grooves blank. 6 @ms.lemon on

Get App They put damp paper onto their styrofoam plate and burnish (gently & firmly rub) to transfer ink. 7 @ms.lemon on

Get App The ink can be cleaned off and a new color or material can be applied. 8 @ms.lemon on

Get App If you don’t have printing ink and a brayer (roller) you can also apply craft paint with a brush! @ms.lemon on

Get App Use damp paper and burnish the same way (rub the back gently and firmly to transfer the paint) @ms.lemon on

Get App Don’t have paint at home? Use a washable marker! Color the whole surface neatly. @ms.lemon on

Get App If you use damp paper the ink may bleed a little. You can also try with dry paper! @ms.lemon on

Get App Make a few of each color until you get at least one clear, quality print. Then try different colors! @ms.lemon on
