Autumn leaves are so beautiful on trees and even on the ground. Kids and adults alike are mesmerized by the rainbow of warm colors. You just can’t help but pick up pretty fallen leaves from the ground! Here’s a way to preserve their beauty and add some fall fancy to the inside of your house.
This arts and crafts project is not only easy, but it’s as cheap as any project could possibly be. If you have leaves outside and waxed paper and an iron inside, I bet you could do it right now! But, you may want to wait for the kids to get home from school—they’re the one’s who will really get a kick out of it.
First, go for a walk and pick up lots of pretty leaves. Gently wash and dry them (if necessary) when you get home. Lay a sheet of waxed paper on an ironing board, then arrange the leaves on it to make a collage or patter. Place another sheet of waxed paper on top, then iron the paper to make the two sheets stick together, holding the leaves inside.
Hang your waxed paper leaf art on the refrigerator, in a window like stained glass, or put it in a frame for “sophisticated” fall decor! You can even cut out individual leaves to make magnets or tape the little leaves to windows.
