Regarding the Leaf Fall Spray Art project: Would dried or pressed leaves work instead of fresh leaves?
Hi Kathy! It seems like it would work with pressed leaves, let us know if you give it a try and how it turns out :)
Hello! I am so excited to try this with my class, how do you create the spray paint?
Hi Kaylee,
We purchased liquid neon spray paint using the link above in the Materials list. That is how the bright colors are achieved.
I work with special needs adults and I am always looking for new art project ideas. The spray paint fall leaves are perfect.
