4. Using a UV light box (or sunlight), expose the transparency image onto the cyanotype fabric for 15 minutes.

5. Rinse the fabric out and allow it to dry.

6. Iron the fabric.

7. Choose three fabrics for the borders. (Tip: Contrasting patterns with similar color schemes work well.) Cut borders with a rotary cutter and mat:

  • Cut two 18" x 4-1/2" border lengths (long)
  • Cut two 9" x 4-1/2" border lengths (medium)
  • Cut four 1-/2" x 8" border lengths (small)
