Tutorial Tuesday!

Thought you all would enjoy this 'Primitve Framed Recipe".



I did one of these a while back with my Toothwash and thought I would revamp it with a new recipe just in time for Spring!  I found this recipe on a website & it dates back to 1857!!!


"BIRDS NEST PUDDING"


Supplies needed:
~Printed recipe (you will find this in my freebie box on the right side column, save it to your computer & print it out.  I have given one in 5x7 size and one in 8x10 size).

~Strong Coffee or Tea

~Frame (either 5x7 or 8x10)


Directions:
Print out your recipe.  I am using the 5x7 size. (If you chose the 5x7 size, you will have one to keep and one to give away!)

My chosen frame.

Next, remove the frame glass.  I take and then 'center' it over my recipe.  Trace around the glass.

Cut it out.

Now, take and submerge your recipe in your strong coffee (or tea).  Now you will want to take and dry it.  I do this by putting it in my Microwave for one minute.    I then repeat this process for 3 more times (dipping and drying each time)!  You can do this as many times as you wish to achieve the level of darkness you want for you recipe.  I thought 3 times was enough for me.

Here is after 3 dippings & dryings!

Next, I take a dry hot iron and iron my paper recipe so that it is nice and flat.

Place it in your chosen frame!  Here it is!!!

Hope you enjoy!!!
