Autumn Leaves Group Page -4: When forming long leaves like this take your index finger and middle finger and use the V that is formed when you put them out straight side by side. Lay the long leaf along those two fingers and press the center vein down where your two fingers meet. Pull the sides of the leaf up and over your finger tops. Pull it off and take the ends and give it a stretch and then a bend.
Attach going from the bottom upward.
Working from the bottom of the leaf press the stem on to the back ground sheet, then fold down the leaf.
Work your way up going from small to large. It's a nice effect.
