DIY DESIGN nature-inspired

Words and Photos: Susan Snow

One of today’s hottest home design trends is the use of flowers, plants and greenery, including potted plants, wallpaper with floral motifs, fabrics with bold floral prints and up to the moment botanical prints. Personalize your space with beautiful, nature inspired prints with the flick of a button. To do this exquisite DIY project all you need is a colour photocopier, some stems and leaves straight out of the garden and a frame. Simply place your stems on your copier, close the lid and press copy. If your copier has image adjustments, I found the copies came out better when lightened up. Once you are happy with the outcome pop the prints into a single frame or a series of frames.

Tip: Uue stems that can be easily flattened like ferns and grasses for the best results.
