Tree leaves are perfect for making paper snowflake designs, ornaments and decorations for Christmas and winter holiday seasons. A neat way to introduce different tree leaf types to children.
Print your snowflake design choices on thin to regular weight paper. Use different colored paper for the different seasons of the life of the leaf. The thinner the paper, the easier to fold and cut out the snowflake.
To give your finished snowflake a translucent appearance, lightly dab one side with lemon oil and allow to dry on news paper.
