It is very easy to make leaf prints even for the smallest children. Whether you want to decorate a sketchbook or drawing, we will teach you how to create beautiful leaf prints in just a few minutes.
Steps
1 Pick leaves that have not yet dried. Dry leaves will not work for us, as they crumble.
- Leaves should not be wet.
2 Cover the table with newspapers.
3 Take the paper on which you will create the print. Squeeze some paint onto the palette.
4 Paint on one side of the sheet with a brush and paint in one or more colors. Cover the entire surface of the sheet.
5 Turn the sheet over with the colored side and press it against the sheet where you want to create its print.
6 Lift the sheet gently without smearing the paint.
7 Repeat this with leaves of different shapes and sizes. The same sheet can be used up to 6 times before it loses its shape. You can create a background from different leaves.
- You can color 1 sheet in different colors.
8 Let the paint dry.
