Step 2: Dip Leaves in Paint
• Get ready by laying out your dropcloth and place your materials on top of it.
• Pour some paint on your paper plate.
• We liked our colors mixed so we gave the paint a gentle stir together.
• Holding the stem, dip your leaves in the paint.

Step 3: Print On Your Paper
• Place your leaves on the paper to make a print.
• If possible, press down on your leaves to imprint the inner shape and pattern onto your canvas.
• Our picture will be a tree hence we will angle all of our leaf prints out from one central point. Feel free to make any design you'd like!
