To close this remarkable botanical year for me, I made for Christmas these Botanical Christmas lights with leaf shapes (Read more about the fun things that happened to me becolorand.nl )
Recap
You need: LED light, three colors green paper, some red paper, glue stick, scissors and a hole puncher
How to make the Botanical Christmas lights
- Cut for a leaf flower: three sheets of squared paper 10x10cm in different colors and fold in four- Cut from some scrap paper 3 leafs in three different sizes
- Place a leaf in the folded corners, cut it, but make sure you don't cut through the folded corners, stay approximately 1 cm from it. Unfold and curl the leaves with scissors, be very gently
- The middle sized leaf stays closed, first you cut small triangles on either side. Unfold and also gently curl
- Punching out a red and green round, cut the red circle halfway
- Now you're going to build the leaf flower: start with a green circle and glue from large to small. Let it dry and make in the middle a hole big enough to slide through the LED light. Slide the red circle over the leaf flower to fix the light
