Hohoho The Perfect Tumble Craft: Icon Leaves

After painting acorns a few weeks ago, nosotros were ready to deed on to icon leaves!
This is a simple project that has beautiful results, is a lot of fun, as well as everyone inward the household unit of measurement tin post away participate. I intend the diversity of shapes of leaves combined amongst the dissimilar paint
colors is what was as well as thus appealing to me close this project. Check it out as well as permit me know what
you think!

First nosotros collected fallen leaves that were by as well as large brown, but non likewise dried out. Our leaves
were nonetheless a flake 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 upward out them betwixt the books, the amend your goal result. I recommend
leaving them between books for at to the lowest degree a week. I flattened a few for 3 days, as well as later
found that after we painted those that they curled upward a flake 1 time the pigment dried. If your
leaves are nonetheless green, yous volition desire to press them inward betwixt sheets of paper inward between
the books. This volition assistance absorb about 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 construct clean our brushes with, about wax paper to place
our leaves on spell they dried, as well as a few paper towels.
