2. Take your templates and now trace them on the appropriate colored cardstock or corrugated cardboard. Either cut out or punch out the 10 black spots and one white spot. Using your hole punch, punch also the holes in the head and the wings where the small markings are on your pattern.

7. Also punch where the leaf vein lines should be. This is how it looks when it is finished. The holes make a nice effect and also let light through the leaf when it is hanging in the window.
