I hope this project was helpful.
These pretty leaves can be used on anything for decoration.
I'm not really good at this but I know there are others who can use this technique to make better leaves.
Enjoy making one.

You Will Need (6 things)

  • Satin Fabric
  • Lighter
  • Pen
  • Scissors
  • Tweezers
  • Candle

Steps (8 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    These are the materials you need for this project.

  2. 2

    Cut out a piece of satin fabric according to size you want your leaves to be.
    Fold the piece in half and draw the leaf shape you want (1/2 shape of the leaf)

  3. 3

    Cut out the leaf.
    Gently and carefully burn the edges. Don't take the leaf to close to the fire or else it will crumble up.

  4. 4

    Here is how mine looked after burning the edges.

  5. 5

    Fold the leaf in half and give the folded side a little pinch of heat.
    After heating the leaf, take it away from fire and immediately press the heated side. Be careful; if it's too got you might injure yourself, though it's never too hot.

  6. 6

    Here's mine after burning the edges.

  7. 7

    Make other diagonal fold and heat to give the leaf more details.
    Here are some more leaves after giving them more patterns

  8. 8

    You can use other paper templates to make different shaped leaves. But this takes more hard work because you have to be really careful.
