Instructions
Cut the brown bag down the seams to get a flat paper.
Paint the textured side of the leaf with paint.
Flip the leaf over and put it on the brown paper.
Use a piece of white paper on top of the leaf and rub the whole leaf.
Remove paper and leaf.
Continue printing leaves until you like your pattern.
Let dry and wrap your gifts.
Notes
Use white paper to help keep your hands clean when printing.
You can use brown butcher paper if you want a flat surface to start with.
Make sure you are choosing paint colors that will show up on brown butcher paper. We tried gold paint and there was not enough contrast.
