Palm tree fronds
You will need: Linen, Resene testpot in
Resene Kaitoke Green, fine brush, bamboo fork.
Step two
Dip a quarter of the fork into
Resene Kaitoke Green, and drag onto the linen, creating the fronds. Leave to dry.
Step two
If the tip of the straw starts to get gluggy, just blow into the straw onto a sheet of paper or dropcloth to get rid of excess paint. Leave to dry.
Apple print
You will need: Linen, apples, Resene testpot in
Resene Spring Rain, roller tray.
Step one
Cut off three sides of the apple, to create a stamp at the bottom plus handles for you to use when stamping. Pour

Step three
To create the pattern, press the apple onto the linen and lift. Leave to dry.
