How to save maple leaves for crafts?
Autumn leaves for crafts can be saved in several ways. The most common of them is drying the leaves between the pages of books. Such leaves in childhood many of us were collected as herbarium. True, the leaves preserved in this way are suitable only as an applique. Make from them crafts do not get due to their fragility.
The second method is similar to the previous one. But, only dry leaves for crafts need iron. For this, such natural material is placed between the two sheets of A4 format and stroke. Also, as in the previous case, such autumn leaves are obtained very brittle and are not suitable for creating colors or other crafts.
If you need to keep bright autumn leaves for the manufacture of colors from them, it is best for this purpose to use melted wax or paraffin. To do this, take a candle and grind it on the grater. Then the wax (paraffin) must be melted in the microwave and cover the leaves from both sides.
Important: wax for the cover of the leaves should not be thick, but should not boil. Otherwise, the leaves, which will be covered by such a wax will lose their bright color.
Warm wax can cover not only the leaves from the trees, but also the borders of Ryabina and another natural material to be saved for further use.
Also for "conservation" of autumn leaves, you can use a solution of glycerin. For this, it (1 part) is divorced in water (2 parts) and poured into a container with leaves. They should be left for several days in this solution.
