DIY fall decorating idea
October 5, 2012 at 4:07 PM

My DD has been on a roll with this simple craft.  She's made 3 or 4 of these and I love them in our windows!


Gather a variety of colored fall leaves.  Arrange on a piece of waxed paper (waxy side up) in random order.  Place another piece of waxed paper on top, waxy side down.  Gently ron with a an iron set on low/medium setting (just below steam setting) until waxed paper "melts" together.  Let cool, then "frame" with a mat made from posterboard.  DD glues the waxed paper to the back of the posterboard mat.  Let dry.
