Camping Craft: Leaf Tracing

by

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What you need:

-          Leaves, preferably with prominent ‘veins’

-          Paper

-          Pencil or crayon

What you do:

Place a leaf face down on a flat surface and lay a sheet of paper on top of it. With a sharp pencil held sideways or the side of a crayon, very gently rub back and forth across the page until you have an image of the leaf. Make sure to hold the paper and leaf very steady and cover the entire area so you can see the whole leaf. You can do more than one leaf per page if you like.

    I tried this craft before! I learned it from a book. But is said to use wax crayons not regular ones. Anyway, it turned out really really cool! -Hello Kitty ROX! ^.~
