This is a craft I absolutely love the result and the kids absolutely love the process. We have family friends visiting from England over thanksgiving and we thought napkins decorated with maple leaves were the perfect gift.
Instructions
1. gather freshly fallen leaves (it will not work well unless the leaf still has lots of juice), all types and colours
2. gather your needed supplies of a hammer, a wood board and a piece of previously washed cotton blend material
3.place your leaves on the wood, then place the material over top of the leaves.
4. hold the material in place and hammer until all the juice comes out onto the material
5. heat set with an iron and then the dryer (I always do both)
6. enjoy your new print
note: use can also use flowers, although we have yet to try that. We have made napkins, table cloths, pillows and sewn material prints on cards.
