Roll out the paper clay to 1/8” thickness. Use the leaf shape cutter to cut out one leaf, making veins with the craft knife. |

Pour small individual dabs of yellow, orange, red & green acrylic paint on a paper plate. Use the brush to drip water into the yellow paint, mixing until thin, then drip onto the leaf in a random fashion. Repeat process with the other colors starting with orange, then red, and finally green. Use darker paints sparingly. Make sure no white clay shows through. Mop up excess paint from leaf with the edge of a paper towel. Let leaf dry. Dry brush edges of the leaf and random areas with the gold paint. |

Cut four lengths of each color ribbon for edging. Glue to perimeter of fabric as seen in photo. |
