Ingredients
- Cardstock
- Tissue paper in autumn colors
- Clear contact paper
- Leaf templates
- Scissors
- Printer
- Tape or removable adhesive (optional)
Instructions
- Download and print the leaf templates.
- Cut the leaf shapes from cardstock.
- Prepare the tissue paper by tearing or cutting it into small pieces.
- Cut a piece of contact paper large enough to hold the leaf and place it sticky side up on your work surface.
- Set the cardstock leaf shape over the sticky contact paper as a guide and arrange the tissue paper pieces inside the leaf shape.
- When the leaf is filled, place a second piece of contact paper over the tissue paper and press gently from the center outward to seal the layers.
- Cut around the leaf shape to remove the excess contact paper.
- Place the finished leaf in a window where sunlight can shine through.
Notes
Because the materials are paper-based, display the leaves indoors and away from rain or high humidity. Cleaning should be done gently with a dry, soft cloth.
