Supplies:

Cardboard

Utility knife

Twine

Hot glue gun and glue sticks

4-5 different color acrylics

Paint brush

Leaves

  1. Cut out an 8” cardboard circle.

  2. Paint the cardboard circle and let dry.

  3. Paint a leaf. Immediately place paint side down onto the painted circle. Press firmly then remove.

  4. Repeat step four as many times as desired with different colors, layering as you go. Let dry.

  5. Glue twine around the edge of the circle.

  6. Fold a piece of 10-12” twine in half and glue to the back of the circle to create a hanger.
