#autumncraft wax pressed leaves

We have a maple tree in our yard and each year I have the children pick out some leaves to press between wax paper. My grandmother would do this with us every fall, and we have adopted it as a family tradition.

Collect leaves, wax paper, scissors, a towel and an iron. place leaves between two sheets of wax paper and place in the towel. Iron over the area and let cool. Peel back wax paper to reveal flat, shiny leaves that can be hung as a garland (as we did above) or displayed in any way you'd like. Stick them on a window for beautiful sun catchers.Enjoy!
