This idea is so wonderful it will have everybody running to the garden searching for leaves!

Simplicity, beauty and originality. These are the words to describe this decoration project that could win the award for "the easiest to make".

You only need one leaf (this example used a big leaf), sand and cement.

1. Put the sand on top of a plastic sheet.

2. Stretch the leaf on the sand to create a concave shape.

3. Then put the previously prepared cement (in this case, we have chosen to add color to make it green, but you can decide to paint the piece just at the end). The best alternative is ShapeCrete, a mixture of concrete: just adding water, you control the consistency of clay.

4. Press to give a homogeneous thickness.

5. Cover with plastic sheet for 24 hours.

6. If the leaf is caught in its mold, let it dry and then brush it with a stiff brush.

7. Done! You are holding a beautiful leaf that you can use to decorate your home.
