ADDITIONAL LEAVES

Beautiful leaves are great for framing, finishing and bringing life to flowers and arrangements. Here are the leaves I use most frequently. Don’t worry about having the exact leaves to match all your flowers, I keep a supply of hydrangea, rose and peony leaves and some greenery on hand, and then I’ll make a specific leaf just when I need it. Follow the rolling, cutting and wiring instructions for the hydrangea leaves, but press the wired leaves between the silicone veiners before drying and finishing.
