Pour a little of the red paint in a small container like a film canister. Add a little bit of water and mix. A little paint goes a long way. Repeat with other fall colors like orange, yellow, green, brown, etc.
Use a pipette or dropper to suck up a little bit of the diluted paint mixture. Now randomly squeeze to drop it onto the coffee filter in various places.
Coffee Filter Leaf
Repeat with whatever colors you would like your leaf to be.

We even did a traditional green leaf one too. I love the different tones of green created by using reen and yellow. I love that these leaves will look like they are just starting to turn yellow at the very beginning of fall.
