How to make Skeleton leaves / DIY Skeleton Leaves / Art and Craft projects

[@IngeniousOutdoors]

This process is called "Retting" and it was traditionally used as a method by some native cultures to get strong plant fibers out of thick stubborn plants not easily processed by hand (such as hemp or yucca) for making natural cordage (rope using the reverse wrap method in case anyone wants to youtu e it and learn it). Making natural (and not so natural. Like plastic bag) cordage is an amazingly useful skill i feel everyone should know ^_^

For a large scale production over 3 bags of leaves, retting peepal leaves in a large bucket of water and mud in 3:2 ratio and stirring it every 3 days is easier and quicker. Takes less than 15days and no need to brush, just rinse, leave it to dry in the air to remove the odour. I make greeting cards and notes with this technique for my friends and they love them.

[@mariasartistry]

Yes, I have heard about using fish pond mud but never tried this method personally. What kind of mud do you use ?

Peepal leaves work the best. They are easiest to work with and will always give you the perfect result. Most of the other type of leaves either get damaged during the process or won't give you the same result as Peepal leaves. But you can definitely experiment with different kind of leaves if you want but remember to choose leaves that are thick with strong vein network.

Very cool, I didn't know it could be done without chemical additives, made so natural it only takes water, time and delicacy in your hands. Sensational!

[@mariasartistry]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching! 😊🌻❤

Is it possible only with peepal tree leaves??

[@justitroyal7032]

any but this is faster because this plant comes under a 24xoxygen group so like neem would also work same

[@mariasartistry]

Peepal leaves work the best. They are easiest to work with and will always give you the perfect result. Most of the other type of leaves either get damaged during the process or won't give you the same result as Peepal leaves. But you can definitely experiment with different kind of leaves if you want but remember to choose leaves that are thick, glossy with strong vein network. Maple, magnolia, gardenia, jackfruit , soursop and oak leaves are some of the other options commonly used for this purpose.

[@educostanzo]

One or two spoons of baking soda would accelerate the process. It's also important to test leaves from different species, because not all of them make good skeletons. In my region I use a lot of avocado tree leaves, they are great for this, and their big size makes for an interesting effect. You can also brush only half of the leaf to simulate that the process is still happening, the result is beautiful.

You are very hard working

[@julianaahmad3212]

Wow thanks for the info..... I mean it ok....

[@JustAnotherMuslimah10]

@educostanzo could you please tell whether to boil using baking soda or just put baking soda into that water+leaves mixture for 2-3 weeks (or less)?

Peepole ? 😂

[@CornBeanSoup]

Does this work for any leaf or just the ones in the video? I’ve got some maples in my yard and was wondering I could use those.

[@mariasartistry]

Yes, maple leaves are also used for this purpose by some people. I don't have them in my country so I have never tried them personally. But you can definitely experiment with them.

[@mariasartistry]

Oak leaves and magnolia leaves are also some of the other options.
