Materials for creating crafts
- Cardboard. Most options use white
- Glue. It is recommended to use a glue gun as it will be most convenient for fixing small parts. For some moments, a quality glue stick can also come in handy.
- Marker or good black marker.
- Leaves. Be sure to collect as many different colors as possible, then the picture will turn out more spectacular.
- High quality and sharp scissors that can cut, not tear off the sheet.
- It is also worth collecting various dry blades of grass, which will also become an essential part of the picture.
Stages of creating crafts
When starting any master class on creating crafts in the form of paintings, it is important to first outline the outlines of the image with a marker or felt-tip pen. This is done so that, firstly, all the elements are organically distributed over the entire area, and, secondly, in order to then more accurately convey this or that image.
This is also the case with a picture of leaves depicting a girl. Let's consider one of the possible options.
- We sketch the image of a girl holding an umbrella in her hand.
- The image is applied to white cardboard.
- Next, there are several options for how to make a girl's craft from leaves, namely, you can simply paint this drawing with a marker, or you can decorate it, giving it volume.
- Consider the option when the girl is simply painted over.
- The drawing is no longer touched, and then work begins with the image of the picture, which they begin to decorate with materials prepared in advance.
- We outline a place for the future tree next to the girl's figure, cut out the base from the bark, and use the elements cut from the collected leaves as its foliage.
- We supplement the tree with twigs, which can also be cut from leaves.
- It should be noted that the bark is glued only exclusively with a glue gun.
- To give naturalness to the future tree, we dry all the collected leaves and glue them to it already slightly dented.
- It turns out such a kind of mass, which in the picture will look interesting and organic.
It is not worth saving on leaves, the more there are, the fluffier and prettier the tree will be. Blades of grass, previously trimmed, will suit the role of grass and decorate the lower part of the picture.
The more diverse types you can collect, the more interesting the picture will look. The finished work can be placed in a frame with glass. In this form, it can already be hung on the wall.

Next, you need to shake off all unnecessary. For aesthetics, the frame should be painted, for example, in gold. After that, it is also necessary to cover the entire surface of the fiberboard.
In advance, you need to cut out the silhouette of a girl from cardboard, especially important for those who often have difficulties with drawing.
Such a silhouette is glued to the surface and also painted with acrylic paint. And then the most interesting thing begins - the work of fantasy.
For the girl, you need to create an image: it can be a dress or a luxurious skirt made of leaves, or maybe a flying hat will be created. The combination of leaves in the picture with flower petals looks more elegant.
