Early this fall, we collected and pressed a big assortment of leaves from our backyard. One rainy Saturday we decided to take out our pressed leaf collection and make handmade cards to send to family and friends.
Materials
- Blank Notecards
- Pressed Leaves
- Googly Eyes
- Fun Stickers and Cut-Outs
- Glue
After gathering the supplies we spread out at our craft table and enjoyed an afternoon of creative card making.
