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!
