Leaf print greeting card making

Creating a leaf print greeting card is a fun and creative way to express your love for nature. You'll need some handmade materials such as fresh flowers and leaves, cardboard, paper towels, and a hammer. This activity is perfect for a relaxing afternoon or a special project with kids.

Start by placing the leaves on a piece of cardboard. Then, cover them with a layer of paper towels. This will help transfer the leaf's natural patterns onto the card.

Gently tap the leaves with a hammer. Be careful not to press too hard, as this may damage the leaves or make the print too faint. The goal is to create a clear, detailed impression of the leaf’s veins and texture.

Once you're satisfied with the print, carefully lift the leaves and paper towels. What remains is a beautiful leaf imprint on the cardboard, ready for the next step.

Your fresh and elegant card is now complete! You can add a personal message, decorate it with markers or stickers, and give it as a heartfelt gift. This simple yet meaningful craft brings the beauty of nature into everyday life.
