Instructions | Instructions for making flower indicator. Instead of making the flower, paint a scene on the blotting paper with the blue cobalt/pink paper as the sky. Dissolve common salt or cobalt chloride in some water to make a saturated solution. Make a flower form out of a pink colored blotting paper. Cut the blotting paper into petal shaped pieces of varying sizes from small to bigger ones. Arrange them according to size keeping the smallest on the top and the biggest below them, with the help of a wire fix them up so that the wire acts as the stem of the flower. Fix a few green colored leaves to the stem in order to make it as real as possible. |
