Place the foil on top of the leaves. Using the meat of your finger, gently press the foil onto the leave. Do not use your nails or the foil will tear
Lay down the foil
Once the foil is completely flat and resting on the boards, trim around 1” on all sides

Fold the remaining foil under and tape it down on the backside
fold foil along the back
Using the side of the sharpie (do not use the sharpie point directly down or the foil may tear) color the leaves.
