Lesson 24 


 

THE BASE OF THE STAND (2)

Now we are going to make the fallen leaves. This part can seem difficult, but in fact it is quite easy. All you have to do is collect flower and different coloured dry leaves.

Get a blender, like the one we have in the kitchen (and use to grind meat, onion or to make mayonnaise). and grind the leaves for a short while. Grind until all that is left of the leaves and flowers are pieces: there we have our fallen leaves.

Water down some glue and then get a brush and brush the glue onto the surface of the stand (the ground which we have just painted). Get a handfall of the fallen leaves and sprinkle them onto the ground. So that the leaves stay well glued onto the surface, once we have sprinkled, add some more diluted glue on top of the fallen leaves. Leave it to dry. Once completely dry, the leaves will be totally glued to the base and will look natural.
