Below you can see some great examples of how to craft (with) leaves. The first beautiful golden 3D leaves, made of paper bag, scissors, tape, acrylic paint and a little shiny gold paint. (finger paint). Also a brush, which has been used wool and a needle. The golden leaves are made quite simple. The leaves are double made and the 2 parts are sewn together to get the beautiful 3D effect. And the gold paint also shines through it.! Aren't they gorgeous? And now you can easily do that yourself.!
Process:
- Cut out two equal leaves per sheet.
- Stick with tape (one that doesn't stick firmly, e.g. watercolour tape) the veins to your liking. So don't press the tape too firmly.
- Now go loose with the dyeing and use paint the leaves in beautiful colours
