Since our
Paper Wardrobe Project for March includes the possibility of leaves I'm going to share a technique for adding veins and how to cut your leaves so they have cerated edges.

| cut leaf shape with paper edgers for more visual appeal |
First select some green paper. Cut a small piece and fold it in half. With a pair of mini scallop scissors, cut the open edge side of the paper forming a leaf shape.
 |
| card stock was too thick - use thinner paper |
With a pair of tweezers grab the folded leaf just below the tip. Crimp by twisting the tweezers to the right (or left) and crease.

| finished leaf |
Continue crimping working from the tip of the leaf to the stem. Open the leaf and shape as desired. It is now ready to add to your project. Enjoy!
