Step 3

Press down quite hard with the side of a colouring pencil and rub all over the leaf. You’ll see the pattern of the leaf come through onto the paper.

Step 4

Try a bunch of interesting leaf patterns. You can even overlap some to make weird and wonderful collages.  

Then stick them up on your wall and watch your friends and family admire them. Who needs a Picasso?
