​What you will need to supply:

Day 1 - Eco-printing preparation
  • Glass jar with lid that can hold 2 cups (16oz.) & hot water
  • Protective table cover for your working area & rags or old towels for clean up
  • 2 inch brush for applying the alum
  • Pair of disposable gloves 
  • Two - 6" x 8.75"  & two - 2.75" x 3.75" pieces of book board, heavy chipboard, back of a sketchbook or drawing paper pad (Grain direction does not matter, these are just to protect the paper in your bundles)
  • 6 rubber bands
  • Twine or string - for wrapping the bundles
  • Wooden dowel or PVC pipe approx. 1.5" diameter x 9.5 - 10" long 
  • Small cup or bowl and a spoon to apply the flower sprinkles
  • Optional: tweezers (can be helpful in placing and removing plant material) 

After class of Day 1 (to cook your bundles):
  • Potholder and tongs for handling hot bundles.
  • Stock pot or roasting pan with a lid - something that will no longer be used for cooking food and is large enough to accommodate the 6" x 8.75"  journal pages bundle and the 9.5 - 10" long rolled journal cover bundle
  • water (you can add any of the extra alum mixture to this water)
  • Portable electric burner or hot plate
  • An outside area where you can set up to heat your bundles (for safety reasons, this should not be done in your kitchen)

Day 2 - Making the journal
  • Small amount of PVA glue or similar glue
  • Glue stick
  • Small flat bristle brush for gluing 
  • Waxed linen thread or waxed embroidery thread, color of your choice to bind journal
  • Sewing needle that will accommodate the thread you plan to use to bind your journal (I like to use a #22 or #24 Chenille needle)

  • sewing thread or embroidery thread for stitching pockets closed and/or other stitching in your journal
  • Ruler
