Cut shapes out of freezer paper. Press the shiny side to the back of the shape. Trim about 1/4" around.

Using a glue stick or stach liquid with a small paint brush around the outside fabric, turn to the freezer paper edge. Sharp tools help.

Unfortunately, I didn't take better pictures. As you can see, this leaf is not usable as it has "jagged" edges. They should be smooth.
