I got the photo-sensitive paper and put it on outside. My object were: phone, comb, radio tape,money and head phones. I lay it out carefully and let it be expose to nature light. After 10 minutes we take out the objects and took the photo-sensitive paper upstairs and washed it in the sink and waited for it to dry. |
