Step 1

: Print out patterns for leaves, sizing them to your own preference

(these are just as easily sized down for 1:24 as they are for 1:12) Roll out

paperclay and lay the pattern on top. Use a blunt tipped pencil to trace the

leaf, bearing down enough to leave an impression in the paperclay, but not

enough to tear the paper. You'll need to work quickly as the paper will rapidly

absorb the moisture from the paperclay and tear when you bear down with the

pencil.
