Think about different marks that can be made by using different types of leaves. 2. Find some small sticks you can use as your brush handles. 3. Place your leaves at the end of one of your sticks. Make sure to overlap the leaves on the sticks. 4. Take your yarn and tie it around the leaves and stick. Tightly wrap the yarn around the stick and leaves to secure them together. 5. Once you’ve wrapped the yarn securely, tie off the yarn and cut off the excess. MOBILE-FRIENDLY VERSION CLICK FOR
