Leaves made by hand

Handmade Leaves


Start by gathering a variety of leaves from around your home or garden. Choose different shapes and sizes to add visual interest to your project.


Place the leaves on a sheet of paper and trace their outlines with a pencil. This will help you create accurate cutouts later.


Once you have the outlines, color in the shapes using markers, crayons, or colored pencils. You can go for realistic colors or get creative with patterns and designs.


Carefully cut out the colored leaves. Make sure the edges are clean and smooth for a professional look.


Now, begin layering the leaves onto a white background. Arrange them in a way that looks natural and visually appealing. You can overlap some leaves to add depth.

Finally, use a crayon or fine-tip marker to draw the veins on each leaf. This adds a nice finishing touch and makes the handmade leaves look even more realistic.
