How To Make Your Own Framed Leaves

To truly showcase the beauty of leaves group together several simple frames that are similar in design and color.

Go for a nature walk and collect several leaves to use later for the print. When selecting leaves try to get an assortment of shapes and colors for contrast.

Place the collected leaves between the pages of a large heavy book and allow the leaves to remain within the book for about a week until the leaves have completely flattened.

Remove the back of the frame and cut the piece of cardstock so that it will cover the back of the frame.

Place the leave in the middle of the frame directly onto the glass.

Next place either a white or neutral colored cardstock sheet over the leaf, and secure the frame back to the picture frame.

Repeat the process of adding leaves and a sheet of cardstock to each frame. While most frames should securely hold the leaf in place, if you find the leaf does fall down slightly because the there is a bit of a gap between the glass and leaf you can place a small piece of double sided tape on the back of the leaf to help it hold it's position on the cardstock while frames.

Cluster the framed leaves together on a mantel or shelf, or hang together on a wall.
