Instructions

    Make a template roughly this shape from a piece of A4 paper.

    Cut it out.

    Choose a piece of wallpaper around A3 size and fold in half.

  4. Small 112901 2f2016 01 12 121409 img 3444

    Draw round the template making sure the longest side is against the crease of the fold.

    Cut it out.

  6. Small 112901 2f2016 01 12 121447 img 3446

    Unfold.

  9. Small 112901 2f2016 01 12 121553 img 3451

    Turn the paper round so the widest edge is at the top and gently begin to fold in half so the longest corners meet then secure with some glue or tape.

  11. Small 112901 2f2016 01 12 121615 img 3453

    Double sided tape would be the most suitable.

  12. Small 112901 2f2016 01 12 121644 img 3454

    You can make a leaf stalk with a thin long piece of the wallpaper. It can be secured to the base of the leave with glue or tape.

  13. Small 112901 2f2016 01 12 121652 img 3455

    If you leave the stalk long enough you can use it to secure it to some ribbon or string to create hanging leaves.​
