GardenMama: .: Garden Art Leaf Sculptures ~ Tutorial :. I am very excited to share a tutorial on how to make your own garden art leaf sculptures! This project is one that my entire family enjoyed completely! I am already dreaming up the next leaf sculptures that we will be creating! Step One: Gather Your Leaves We began by harvesting a few Rhubarb leaves for their great vein patterning and impressive size. (They also make excellent garden fairy hats!) Step Two, Three and Four: Setting Your Workspace Set up a work table outside in a shady spot. To protect your table surface from cement you can cover it with a trash bag. Open up the bag of play sand to begin the next step.
Step Five: Creating a Pile of Sand On your work surface you will create a mound of packed sand that is the same size as the leaf you are working with. If you would like your finished leaf to be concave and hold water like a bird bath, add some additional height to the center of your sand pile by packing more sand. Step Six: Securing The Workspace Step Seven: Placing The Leaf. Lacy Punched Salt Dough Ornaments. Beaded Ones, Too! - The Artful Parent.
