While Jodie was cutting out the number 2 templates, Fiona and I went out and collected loads of brown/red leaves. We had to dry them out as they were really wet, but we put them on the radiator for too long and they went a bit too crunchy and kept braking when we tried to stick them onto the number 2.
The leaves weren't anywhere near as thick and bulky as the cotton wool which was a problem, so we decided to put some cotton wool on the number 2 and then cover it with leaves. This means we could use less leaves and still have a really thick model.
We used PVA glue to stick the leaves down, which didn't work very well but it was all we had. We had to use loads of glue and had to let the thing leave on the radiator to dry for ages before we could stick anymore leaves on.
