- 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!
