STEP 2

Place the pattern on the wrapping paper and trace the leaf shape. Once you have traced it, cut it out.

STEP 3

Fold the sheet in half. Start folding the paper on itself trying to keep the same width, which of course is to your liking, to create a symmetrical and harmonious leaf.

STEP 4

Place a wooden stick in the bottom-center of the leaf and push the bottom edges of the sheet to close your leaf around the wooden stick. Once done that, secure it with transparent tape and cover the tape wrapping around a small piece of paper.
