Some of the easiest nonstandard materials to work on are leaves. Leaves come in an infinite number of shapes, forms, colors, and sizes. These factors make leaves a perfect art material.
Place your leaves on the poster board and arrange it to your liking. When dry, lift the leaves carefully; you will see a wonderful bare leaf outline around color splatters. Magnolia leaves are best used for this project. Place the leaves into the solution and set aside for an hour. Gently dry the leaves with a washcloth. Once dry, place the leaves between paper towels and press or weigh. You can then frame the leaves.
Iron-on leaf designs
Choose nicely shaped leaves of different sizes. Color the back of the leaf with a bright colored crayon; then colored side on the material.
Leaf prints
Lay the leaf on a surface.
