Waxing Leaves...

Okay, I can't take credit for this idea.  I found it on one of my all time favorite blogs,

Memories on Clover Lane
She is always doing something fun.


Today I am

 

Waxing leaves!

 

 

 

Here is how I did it...

 

 First, I started by taking a walk and gathering the prettiest leaves I could find. It was a beautiful  day yesterday so my mom, sister and two of my daughters and I all took a walk and gathered leaves together.

 

 I piled all my leaves on newspaper that I had spread over my kitchen counters.
 

Next, I melted some paraffin wax in an aluminum pan right on the stove top.
 I used Paraffin wax I had left over from my Christmas baking last year.

 Then I just dipped my leaves...

 and placed them on the newspaper to dry.

 

Could not be easier!!!

 I used some brown thread to make a garland and tied them on the thread by the stem.

It's kind of a tedious task but worth it.

They are so simple and beautiful!!



 

 



I Love it!

 

 Happy Fall!
