I had a few plastic leaves and I needed a bunch of leaves for my tree that I am decorating for my table this year. Instead of trying to find more leaves, spending hours looking for them I decided to make them.(Note: Decorating this tree is an annual thing, it is something I keep in the holiday decorations.)
In the middle of the picture you see a white & yellow ball of the two parts of Amazing Mold Putty (AMP), there is a leaf on top... I do this so I can estimate I have enough to make my mold. Mix the two parts well, then press the object , today I am using leaves into it and let it set a few minutes. You feel to test that it has hardened by touch, but flexible to use and release your Creative Paperclay®. Then you are ready to start molding!
I molded over 25 leaves and set them aside to dry. Once dry I cleaned up the edges with an emery-board. Now they are ready for paint.
My favorite product I love to use to paint Creative Paperclay® is Sakura Crystal Lacquer and Terri Sproul Mixers. The reason is when I am painting I am also sealing. The Sakura Crystal Lacquer is a sealer and is a one step painting job. For my leaves I used Citrine Pearl, Rose Pearl and Shimmer Garnet. I love how the colors mixed when I painted the leaves. Let the leaves dry.
Adhere the leaves with a dab of Sakura Crystal Lacquer... and spread the leaves around the base of the tree.
Thanks for stopping by... Please visit all the posts in the hop! Remember to vote at the end!

Wow! this is amazing..I love it.
I really like the tree. What a great idea for a center piece.
Cute tree. Nice job. Looks like a very versatile tree. Ornaments could be hung on the branches if they are strong enough. Pumpkins at the base would be good too. This is great to inspire lots of ideas.
