Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
Leaves:
First, fold your paper in half vertically, and cut a "U" shape.Step 2
Then accordion fold your paper upwards, and with every fold cut the end with your scissor.
Step 3
Once you are finished folding your paper, open it back up, and cut down the center line.
Step 4
Accordion fold the two pieces of paper up, and glue together to make a leaf shape. You can finesse the shape by creating a mini fan. Tie and glue a piece of string at the bottom of the leaf to create a stem.
Step 5
Stands:
Glue one cork to one block. Let it dry. Once dry, paint the cork gold, and the wooden block brown.Step 6
Then glue a paper leaf onto one side of the wooden block.
Step 7
Wire:
If you are using wire, ask a grown-up assistant to use wire cutters to cut a 5-inch long strand. Poke the wire or paper clip into the cork. Curl one end into a circle. This will be where you place your notecard.Final result!
