Member Melody Jones created a beautiful Fall Wreath from her leaves.
Below are her instructions on how to make it.
1. Collect, Press and Dry Leaves. Melody used an old phone book to press her leaves.
2. Once the leaves are dry, take 8-10 leaves and make a bundle.
Use floral tape to hold them together.
Make lots of bundles, enough to cover the wreath frame.
3. Place leaf-bundles one at a time on a metal wreath frame, and secure with floral tape or wire. Layer to make it full.
4. Continue adding bundles until the wreath frame is covered.
