Today we’re making large autumn leaves using legumes—or rather, a bean mosaic. :)) We cut the leaves out of a cardboard box so they’re nice and sturdy. We paint them first; it looks better that way if the legumes don't fit together perfectly in some places.
Then, the glue needs to dry thoroughly! You can place something heavy on the leaves, but if you want to use books, put a plastic bag or something similar in between to keep your books nice and clean.

Cut and print out the patterns.

Paint the leaves in Autumn colours.
Let the paint dry completely.
First stick on the stems and optional veins.
Ten fill the leave with coloured legumes.
Spread glue over the leaves using a glue brush, spread it well but divide the leaves into glue sections; otherwise, the glue will be dry by the time you reach the end
When the leaf is filled you let the glue dry overnight
