Leaf Supplies Overhead transparencies Overhead projector Pen or marker 4'x8' Coroplast™ 4mm corrugated plastic sheets-2 different colors per leaf (suggested colors: red, orange, and yellow) Jigsaw with a plastic grade blade Hot glue gun with glue Fishing line or other hanging material Instructions 1. Draw the leaf base and leaf overlay onto the overhead transparencies as shown. 2. Determine what colors your leaves will be: yellow base with orange overlay, red base with yellow overlay, etc. Using an overhead projector, trace the leaf templates onto the different colored Coroplast sheets. Use up to the entire 4'x8' sheet for each leaf to make "larger than life" leaves for your children's ministry area. 3. Use a jigsaw with a plastic grade blade to cut the Coroplast leaves. (You can cut multiple sheets at one time by stacking the Coroplast and cutting the entire stack.) When you cut out your overlays, be sure to save the inner cut-out pieces. These pieces can then be put on a leaf base to create a second overlay design (see diagram). 4. Hot glue leaf overlays to leaf bases to complete your leaves. 5. Attach fishing line or other hanging material to your leaves and hang them from the ceiling and/or the walls in your children's ministry area. View Drawing
