Get crafty and print some cyanotype scissor print tights!
When our Cyanotype Kit arrived from Jacquard, I had a look around the CO+K office for something awesome to print with when I spotted my scissors jar and knew they would look amazing on tights.

Step 1
You'll need a pair of light tights to print on for this project.
Step 2
We need to stretch the tights to get the print to look just right, so trace around your legs onto a large piece of cardboard and then cut out the template for your legs.
Step 3
Carefully slip the tights over the cardboard so that they're all stretched out.
Step 4
Protect your surface with a bin bag, lay the tights down and arrange your scissors in a design you like.
Step 5
Mix up the Cyanotype solution in the dark and pop in a spray bottle.
Step 6
Spray the tights in the dark with the solution and leave to dry.
Step 7
Expose to sunlight for 10 minutes and then rinse the tights well.
Step 8
Leave to dry then try on!
