Instructions
Step 1
For first we have to cut two ginkgo leaves of copper sheet.

Print the leaf pattern on the self-adhesive paper and paste it onto a sheet.

You can use jewelry saw for this or scissors and file for cutting.

Make two leaves of different sizes: one larger, one smaller (you can download my sketch)

In the photo I show 3 leaves that were made in different ways.

But you have to make 2 only.
