Instructions:

  • First cut your paper plates down to look like leaves. We did a football shape and another shape with some curved triangles taken out.
  • Next cut/tear your tissue paper into small squares.
  • Now take your paper plate cutouts and put a good amount of glue all over them.
  • Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue in a mosaic design, until they are completely covered.
  • While they are working on that, cut out a simple stem out of some tan/brown cardstock.
  • To finish off the Leaves, staple the cardstock stems to the finished paper plates.
  • Then add other embellishments you may see fit before setting aside to let it all dry completely.
  • Finally, when done decorating your paper plate leaf, display it proudly for ALL to see!
