Steps:
- Cut your celery stalk off leaving a base about 3 to 4 inches tall.
- 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.

- 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.
- This is a stamping technique done with a veggie and left overs can be eaten after your hard work!
