Supplies:

• 1 celery ($1.69)
• 3 craft paints ($2.97)
• 3 sponge or bristle brushes ($1.00)
• 1 scrap paper to check the print ($0)

Steps:

1. Cut your celery stalk off leaving a base about 3 to 4 inches tall.
   
   
2. Choose paint colors that blend well to make flowers. Try 3 to 4 different shades and apply to the cut end of your celery using brushes to add small amounts of paint, alternating colors that look like petals visually.

 
3. Use scrap paper to pre-stamp your celery for the look you want before adding to your object. This is done to see if you like a heavy look or a muted look.
