Step by step
Roll a red, an orange and a yellow ball, all the same size.
Press them together in a row.
Roll them flat together with the roller.
Use the cutting tool to cut out a leaf with five rounded flaps.
Pinch little points along the edges of the leaf with your fingers.
Use the sculpting tool to scratch a vein down the middle.
From the vein, scratch small side veins out to each point.
Roll a small orange sausage and press it on at the bottom. Done!
Tip
Don’t roll for too long, or the colours will mix into one brown colour.
