Today, it is hard to think of Canada without thinking about the red maple leaf symbol. It is often believed that the red sugar maple leaf gained popularity due to the importance of the maple tree in Canada&#8217;s economy. Actually, red maples are found only in eastern Canada and not throughout the country. There are many possible explanations for its popularity, but whatever the reason, it has become the Canada&#8217;s symbol throughout the world. Not only can the maple leaf be found on Canadian flags, but on coins, military emblems, and stamps. Many Canadian businesses and leisure teams also use the words, maple leaves, in their names to celebrate their Canadian heritage.<\/em> Now, learn how to make a Clay Maple Leaf out of maple leaves and air drying clay.<\/p>\n<h4>Clay Maple Leaf Craft Materials<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"y\" data-identifier=\"B001V8E7MW\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"homeschool-companion-20\" href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/product\/B001V8E7MW\/US\/homeschool-companion-20\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Paper Clay<\/a> or other <a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"y\" data-identifier=\"B001GAP4YA\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"homeschool-companion-20\" href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/product\/B001GAP4YA\/US\/homeschool-companion-20\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Air Drying Clay<\/a><\/li>\n<li>waxed paper<\/li>\n<li>Real maple leaves, silk maple leaves or <a href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/maple-leaf-patterns.pdf\">maple leaf pattern<\/a><\/li>\n<li>pointy knife<\/li>\n<li>water color paints<\/li>\n<li>sealer like <a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"y\" data-identifier=\"B000IXQAJY\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"homeschool-companion-20\" href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/product\/B000IXQAJY\/US\/homeschool-companion-20\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Liquitex Gloss Medium<\/a> or\u00a0<a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"y\" data-identifier=\"B00178QQJ8\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"homeschool-companion-20\" href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/product\/B00178QQJ8\/US\/homeschool-companion-20\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Mod Podge<\/a><\/li>\n<li>emery board or fine sandpaper (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Directions for Clay Maple Leaf<\/h4>\n<p>Before beginning, collect some maple leaves. You need to pick leaves that have well defined veins, so they will be visible on the clay. Also, you need leaves that are supple. Dried leaves, even along the edge, will crumble when you need to push them into the clay. If you do not have them, you can use a silk maple leaf. If you do not have those, make a copy of our Clay Maple Leaf\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/maple-leaf-patterns.pdf\">PATTERN<\/a> and cut out the leaves you wish to use.<\/p>\n<p>Cut the paperclay into 8 pieces. Each maple leaf, depending on size, uses approximately 1 &#8211; 2 ounces of clay. Use 1 or 2 pieces of clay and place the rest in a Ziploc page so the clay does not begin to dry out.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16944 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/paperclayleaves-20-780wm.jpg?resize=780%2C520&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"clay maple leaf craft\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/paperclayleaves-20-780wm.jpg?w=780&amp;ssl=1 780w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/paperclayleaves-20-780wm.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/paperclayleaves-20-780wm.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/paperclayleaves-20-780wm.jpg?resize=425%2C283&amp;ssl=1 425w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/paperclayleaves-20-780wm.jpg?resize=400%2C267&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Flatten the small piece of clay in our hands, then roll out between 2 pieces of waxed paper like a small pie crust.

If you do, however, when it comes time to paint, simply put a brown dot of paint on the hole. Real leaves are not perfect, so the holes will simply look like minor leaf blemishes!

When looking at natural leaves, you will notice most leaves have multiple colors and imperfections. Try different techniques to achieve pleasing results. Make sure to paint the back, too, although you do not need to add detail.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16937 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/paperclayleaves-1-780wm.jpg?resize=780%2C520&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"clay maple leaf craft\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/paperclayleaves-1-780wm.jpg?w=780&amp;ssl=1 780w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/paperclayleaves-1-780wm.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/paperclayleaves-1-780wm.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/paperclayleaves-1-780wm.jpg?resize=425%2C283&amp;ssl=1 425w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/paperclayleaves-1-780wm.jpg?resize=400%2C267&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16940 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/paperclayleaves-6-780wm.jpg?resize=780%2C585&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"clay maple leaf craft\" width=\"780\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/paperclayleaves-6-780wm.jpg?w=780&amp;ssl=1 780w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/paperclayleaves-6-780wm.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/paperclayleaves-6-780wm.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/paperclayleaves-6-780wm.jpg?resize=425%2C319&amp;ssl=1 425w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/paperclayleaves-6-780wm.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After the paint has dried use a sealer over the front and back of your leaves.
