    \r\n
  1. Paint the letters in varying shades of green acrylic. Use green, white and blue to mix different shades.<\/li>\r\n
  2. Compile a list of flowers\/ plants beginning with each letter of the alphabet, with images to work from.<\/li>\r\n
      \r\n
    1. Anemone<\/li>\r\n
    2. Buttercup<\/li>\r\n
    3. Chrysanthemum<\/li>\r\n
    4. Daisy<\/li>\r\n
    5. Elderflower<\/li>\r\n
    6. Fern <\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
    7. Draw your designs onto the letters. Start by adding the flower middles first, then the petals, then the leaves. Keeping the shapes simple and repetitive work well.<\/li>\r\n
    8. Colour the designs in with Deco Pens. The fine pens are good for detailed work.<\/li>\r\n
    9. Finally finish the pieces by colouring the edge with a contrasting colour.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>","shopping_list":"
