Supplies:
disposable pie pan
aluminum coffee seal
leaf templates
non-working ball point pen
hammer
nail
utility shears
earring wires
dowel

Steps:
Place templates onto aluminum and use non-working pen to outline them, then cut out the leaves with utility shears. Use the dowel to 'iron' out the leaves, if needed.
Use non-working pen to draw veins on the leaves, then use the hammer and nail to make a hole in the top of the leaves.
Add 1 of the jump rings to the top of both sets of leaves. Add small first, medium, then large. Next add the other jump ring, and then attach to the earring wires with the pliers.
