How To Make Leaf Man Collages
BEFORE YOU BEGIN – Decide how to make your leaf prints. The Leaf man examples in this tutorial are created using marker leaf prints. You can also make leaf prints with paint.
Step 1: Print Your Leaves
Use markers and water, paint or simple leaf rubbings. We have linked to our full tutorials above.
Step 2: Cut The Lines
Color, paint water and print several different leaves.
Step 3: Cut and Glue
Pick the size of construction paper you want to use as your base and glue the dried leaf print on.
Step 4: Repeat
Use other paper to add to the Leaf Man collage.
Optional: Use drawing materials to complete the collage.
