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.

These are the materials you need for this project.
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)
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.
Here is how mine looked after burning the edges.
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.
Here's mine after burning the edges.
Make other diagonal fold and heat to give the leaf more details. Here are some more leaves after giving them more patterns
You can use other paper templates to make different shaped leaves. But this takes more hard work because you have to be really careful.
