I love all hues, striking in itself and vibrant all together. Autumn’s beauty is truly astounding, as well as its feisty aura. Wondrous are the colors that dance in wild arrays before withering away. Through this project, I hope to savor fall’s magnificence. Perhaps its radiance can be made immortal?
Supplies: leaves, paper of own choice, glue, scissors/razors, ruler
Step I: Collect and preserve leaves. You can place them in books or between thick sheets of paper. It is recommended that you to add pressure by supplying weight upon them, as it prevents wrinkles. When you have secured your arrangement, let it be for a few weeks. The paper will drain the leaves of moisture, leaving them fully preserved. This is a time consuming process, so check back in at least two weeks.
Note: The paper you use will become wrinkled from the moisture of the leaves. Therefore, think it through before you decide to use a book. I chose an old phone book which pressed my leaves quite well.
Step II: Decide what you would like to make. Decors? Bookmarks? Cards? That is up to you. As you can see, my leaves are pasted upon paper. If you decide to do the same, be creative and find diverse materials, patterns, textures, and shapes. You can use old book pages, colorful sheets, newsprint, etc. as a sources of backgrounds.
Step III: Be proud.
