Leaf Waxing




I was reading through some of my favorite blogs and came across this neat idea. http://4ourkiddos.blogspot.com/2010/11/school-candy-fun-project.html   So today I stopped at the hardware store and bought some wax. When we got home Sierra and I went leaf picking. We chose our favorites and brought them home. we melted the wax dipped the leaves in and laid them on wax paper to dry. I tied them on thread and hung them from 2 windows!! I can't wait to do this agian next year when the colors are at their peak. It was great fun and Sierra loved dipping the leaves! Special thanks to David who ran and got me more wax paper !!!





Still some beautiful color!
