So, in the past few weeks, i've been doing some stuff.
Yeah, KIK's been deleted so I got to do SOMETHING T_T
Me and mom threw something together like THIS:
You need:
• Dried leaves
• Paint & Paintbrushes
• Glitter / Glitter glue
(If you're using glitter, then you'll need glue)
It's really simple.
Just walk around your neighbourhood and find some leaves (I recommend doing this during Autumn/Fall).
Then you get a magazine and put the leaves inside. You press the magazine down with some heavy book afterwards.
This will make the leaves dry up, and flatten them too.
Leave them there for 1-3 weeks. (I know, it takes forever)
I usually leave them for... a season or two (Autumn/Fall - Summer). I had my leaves in a box for a few years though O_o
After they're dry, paint them with some random paint that you find around the house. I only had metallic paint.... but it gives a more awesome effect ;P
Leave them to dry, but if you want to cover the whole leaf with glitter, then add some now before it dries.
Once it's dry, you choose to either have glitter, or glitter glue.
I prefer glitter glue, since you have more control of making that leaf pattern.
Those are my glitter glue leaves.
They look a bit better than the ones above ^^'
But if you want to use glitter, then use glue to make the pattern, and sprinkle some glitter on top.
TIP: Put your leaf on a piece of paper and add a TON of glitter onto it. Once you're done doing that, tap the sides of the leaf on the piece of paper, making the rest of the glitter fall on the paper. Use the remains on a different leaf.
Put all your finished leaves on some paper, and let them dry for a day or two.
TA DA!!! *Jazz Hands*
You have the fabulous Tedz Leaves!
Put them in a box or something for safe keeping.
My Ferrero Rocher box <3
(Yeah, I love Ferrero Rocher. PROBLEM? I get a box every Valentine's Day -_-)
I used to glue these onto Christmas cards to give to my friends. But they weren't GRATEFUL T_T So i'll just give these to my family.... Or keep them.... Or give them to Frogshy <3
Anyway, I got to go and see Man of Steel now.
At least the cinema will be emptier than the Premiere Night.
Byeh! <3
