Firstly the eggs get painted with acrylic.
These are then stuck down to black card with modge podge - the eggs crack as they are pushed down to glue them down. Once the glue dries, the card is cutting into lots of leaf shapes.
An autumn tree is painted and then the leaves are stuck down, a really effective picture.
Eden's tree.
First make salt dough, and find some leaves to make leaf imprints into the salt dough.
Niamh got really creative and made a frog.
Jude even got stuck in with the painting.
Niamh enjoyed putting the finishing touches on her frog - perhaps a paperweight ?
Niamh finishing it off with some modge podge.
Which seals it off nicely and gives it a nice shine.
Firstly the picture is drawn on material, and then the picture is glued with washable pva.
The material and picture is then painted over with acrylic paint.
The end pictures - above is Eden's, below is Niamh's. Note how the tree is totally covered over.
Once the painting is dry, the material is placed in hot water so that the glue(which covered the trees) comes off, and pulls the paint off with it.
To reveal the lovely autumn tree pattern below.
Niamh's tree.
