You could also pick up other natural objects such as twigs or flowers. 2. Lay out your collection of leaves. 3. Choose your first piece of coloured paper. Trace round your first leaf with a pencil. Now place it elsewhere on the paper and trace it again. Repeat the process. 4. Take your next leaf and a different piece of paper, repeating the process.
