1. Draw a leaf shape  3 1/2"(W) x 1 1/8" (L) cut out and trace off for the second leaf



2. Clip both sides of leaf to give some texture

3. Cut out a pair of half moon shapes; longer and narrower than the leaves
 4"(W) x1/2"(L)

4. Clip out wedges on the curved side only
5. Paint the front with metallic paint; keep brush fairly dry to let the leather texture show.

6. Punch holes at the top of all pieces and layer them together keeping small leaf on top.
