Top Tip
You can use real leaves instead of the template if you would rather.
How to Make
- To start, cover the front and back of the leaf templates with sticky tape to make the templates water-resistant.
- Cut around the templates.
- Temporarily stick your templates to the canvas board with sticky tac.
- Fill a fine mist bottle with a few squirts of red paint and water. The more paint you add to the bottle, the bolder and brighter the colour.
- Shake the fine mist bottle until the paint and water mixture is combined with no lumps. Repeat for all four colours.
- Spray the paint and water mixture onto the canvas (the canvas underneath the leaf templates will be protected).
- When the paint is dry, peel off the leaf templates to reveal the leaf shapes underneath.
- Hang your beautiful, autumnal painting in your home and enjoy.
