Tropical Leaf Ornaments
Do you love plants? If you do then this is the tutorial for you! I will be walking you through how to create your own Pink Princess Philodendron clay ornament.
All you need is:
Creative Paperclay
Acrylic paint - In greens, pinks, and white
Knife
Rolling pin
Take about ¼ of a package of Creative Paperclay and using your rolling pin (You can substitute a drinking glass if you don’t have a craft rolling pin) flatten out the clay.
Once the clay is flattened as thick as you would like your ornament to be use a leaf template or create one by drawing a heart shaped leaf onto a piece of paper to cut out your leaf.
After cutting the leaves out smooth out the edges using your fingers and a wet paper towel. Put one hole in the top of the leaves using a pencil or needle.
Let them dry out for a day or two!
Now let’s paint!
I started with white, the lightest color, and painted a small section on my half moon leaf and then added in light and dark pink variegation. On the green side I put some light pink splotches and then painted around them with the darker green. I did blend in a little lighter green in spots to make it more realistic.
Time to hang them. Put a little string or yarn through the hole and hang them on your tree!
I would love to see all your different leaves! Comment your photos below.
Cheers until next time!
