material needed:
two pieces of waxed paper, leaves, two towels, and iron and ironing board or flat surface
let's get started:
1. Put on your shoes and a jacket, if necessary. It's time to go outdoors. Scour the yard to find some of the loveliest leaves you can. Pick up as
many as you'd like. You don't have to use all of them if you don't want to.
2. While outside; brush any dirt off the leaves with your hand.
3. Prepare a flat surface or use an ironing board. Put one towel on the surface.
4. Place one piece of waxed paper on top of the towel.
5. Arrange the leaves on the waxed paper in any order that you like.
6. Place the second piece of waxed paper on top of the leaves. Try to make the corners fit to each piece.
7. Place the other towel on top and iron. Make sure to iron the corners. The final product is a pretty nature picture.
8. Let cool.
Variations: You can punch two holes in the top of the picture. Put yarns or string through the holes to hang it on the wall.
