autumn activity - leaf rubbings!

Collect fresh leaves with interesting shapes and textures. You'll also need a sheet of paper (printer paper works well) and crayons. Peeling the paper off the crayon will make it easier to rub.

Place the leaf on a flat, hard surface, with the textured side (the side with the veins) facing up

Carefully lay a sheet of plain white paper (or other paper you've chosen) directly on top of the leaf

Remove the paper wrapper from the crayon

Hold the crayon on its side and rub it firmly and evenly over the paper, covering the area where the leaf is

As you rub, the leaf's veins and outline will be transferred to the paper, creating a leaf rubbing!! — 🍁

LEAF RUBBING STICKERS!

Ghost Leaf Stationary. Took a rubbing of a leaf with green colored pencil on tracing paper. Took a picture of that. Traced the leaf rubbing in digital and made stationary out of it. Never had a use for it, so it's a free resource. Will work okay with Word, just need a text box. A trim and a glue stick will be needed for the envelope. I have a few more designs...and I also quit doing more of them since I have no use for them and it seems like no one has any interest in letter fancy letter papers. But, I'm bored, so, I'm posting random artworks I've done.
