Cucumber Leaf
Material: two small cucumbers or one long cucumber
Equipment: sharp-pointed knife, carving knife
 Instructions
 Cut the cucumber lengthwise into fairly thick slices. Cut the slices diagonally to obtain pieces shaped like a rhombus.
Trim each piece to shape it like a leaf.
On the green side, cut a groove to represent the midrib, and then cut diagonal grooves to represent the veins. These should be spaced to give an attractive alternating green and white pattern. Finally, cut notches around the edges of the leaf.
