Instructions

1. On a protected surface, paint the entire sheet of paper with the craft paint. Leave to dry.
2. Spray the leaves with the glue. Affix them to the painted surface and make sure their edges are pressed down.
3. Stand 1-2 feet away and spray-paint the whole surface and over the leaves. Spray lightly in one direction (left to right or right to left) to create a smooth, non-drippy result.
4. Remove the leaves gently. You can use the detail brush to apply new paint over the initial layer for an arty look. You can also add extra color for detailing or shadowing.
5. After the paint dries, mount your craft on a board or frame and display.

You can tell your kids to scour the neighborhood for flowers, leaves, and anything else you can use as a silhouette. For the best outcome, set the leaves between 2 pieces of paper then place them between 2 heavy books. Leave them for a day or two until they become completely flat. You’ll love this craft project for its easy process and great outcome. Your kids will also enjoy creating something beautiful on their own.
