Hope!! The Perfect Spill Craft: Paradigm Leaves

After painting acorns a few weeks ago, nosotros were cook to deed on to icon leaves!
This is a simple project that has beautiful results, is a lot of fun, in addition to everyone inwards the identify unit of measurement tin participate. I intend the diversity of shapes of leaves combined amongst the unlike paint
colors is what was in addition to then appealing to me nearly this project. Check it out in addition to allow me know what
you think!

First nosotros collected fallen leaves that were to a greater extent than oftentimes than non brown, but non besides dried out. Our leaves
were even in addition to then a fleck pliable but non crumbly. After nosotros collected a overnice diversity of leaves, I
placed them betwixt a stack of heavy books for over a calendar week to completely flatten them out.
The longer you hold out out them betwixt the books, the amend your destination result. I recommend
leaving them between books for at to the lowest degree a week. I flattened a few for 3 days, in addition to later
found that after we painted those that they curled upward a fleck 1 time the pigment dried. If your
leaves are even in addition to then green, yous volition desire to press them inwards betwixt sheets of paper inwards between
the books. This volition assistance absorb roughly of the wet from the leaves equally they dry out out.

Next nosotros gathered our supplies: a diversity of acrylic paints (I used whatsoever I already had at
home), some paper to protect our tabular array top, a few plates to serve equally palettes, a variety
of craft pigment brushes, a loving cup of H2O to build clean our brushes with, roughly wax paper to place
our leaves on piece they dried, in addition to a few paper towels.
