Before the leaves start to fall, harvest them for some quick garden art. We met with a local artist, Ann Kenkel, to learn the steps for creating cute cement leaves for your landscape. Ann has worked out the kinks and made all the mistakes so you don’t have to.
Just follow her ‘Cement Leaf’ recipe. She recommends you start with smaller leaves and ones that are non-fuzzy. Put your cement mixture on thick and then make sure you let it cure for quite a while. Ann recommends at least 2 days before you remove the leaf. You can do this with any leaf and now is the perfect time to do it.
