She said to put the leaf inside of a book for two weeks. She was collecting leaves to do this with and use as centerpieces to decorate her table for Thanksgiving. I thought that was a great idea. | ||

You gather your leaves and place them between two sheets of wax paper. Put a towel over the wax paper and iron over the top. The wax paper will stick together, and you have a leaf place mat. Isn't that neat? Amber | ||
