Tiny Tetra Pak Print Challenge

Join Us in Making Minis!

Let’s go!

I’ve been making Tetra Pak Prints for #the100dayproject this year and Monty Lee reached out, as she’s too been making prints, and suggested a challenge. So here we are with some other magicians accompanying us and a little framework.

Will you join us?!

We put together some poetic prompts as a starting point for our adventure!

This is an instagram challenge but since I’ve been loving Substack, I thought I’d share it here. I will add some of your work to a gallery in this post, so tag me to hail me down!


In the meantime, the materials are so easily procured:

1.Tetra Pak cartons — don’t be embarrassed to pick through your neighbors recycling on trash day!

2.a pointy thing with which to etch,

3.paper & 4.ink, and a 5.noodle press or a spoon to rub a print.

If you’ve never tried Tetra Pak printing before — don’t sweat it! I’m also a newbie and shared a for a Beginner from a Beginner tutorial here: on Substack ! The results of these prints even include the wondrously desirable impression of the plate, making our work look rather fancy even though it is made from t r a s h!
