I have been saving leaves to do this project for about a week now.
All you need is a frame, some cut-outs, and Mod Podge.
I pressed the leaves between books for a few days so they are nice and flat.
Then I got to work cutting out the shapes I wanted for my frame.
I didn't have any problems cutting out each shape.
You can use the veins of the leaves in interesting ways.
Next, I covered the frame in Mod Podge and placed my cut-outs.
Then I covered the frame again in Mod Podge.
After drying, I did another coat.
It really is pretty!
I can't wait to make more with the kids!
What a great idea! I am surprised the leaves didn't crumble when punched...probably need to be pretty fresh, you think?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Denise--I would've thought they'd crumble, too!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
I thought so too. But after pressing for two or 5 days I never had one crumble.
ReplyDeleteThis really looks lovely! What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. You always have wonderful craft ideas!
