HOW YOU CAN PRESERVE LEAVES AND HOW YOU CAN MAKE NOVELTIESFROM LEAVES

To Preserve Leaves:

Place the leaves in a pan and cover them with dry, hot sand. Allow

this to cool. Remove the leaves and smooth them with a hot iron.

Dip them in colorless varnish and let them dry.

To Make Novelties from Leaves:

Paint large leaves with aluminum or bronze paint. Dip them into a

clear plastic paint to set them firmly.
