Making something out of a leaf? (7)
I believe the answer is:
origami
'leaf?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for origami that I've seen before include "newspaper folded?" , "Japanese craft of paper folding" , "Japanese art of folding or tearing paper" , "It's crafty folding" , "I'm a giro (anag)" .)
