You have to dry beautiful autumn leaves? To learn how to do this, we were told in the article Top ways to properly dry the herbarium . And now this wealth we can use to build applications from the leaves.
We need scissors, PVA glue (or adhesive from starch, rubber adhesive), a brush, tweezers, pencils and crayons, dense leaf paper (or clean with a finished picture, printed on a printer, depending on the kind of equipment we choose, or velvet paper).
Several options:
• application of only one leaves (all items - whole leaves pasted on the appropriate part pictures), application to the paper (for the part of elements using colored paper for the rest of the - whole leaves);
• applique patterned (drawn image and combine leaflets);
• Modular application mosaic (the leaves are cut with scissors into pieces like a mosaic elements);
• The outline application (from the leaves are cut extra pieces);
• application-sprinkling (the leaves are crushed and sprinkle them certain parts of the image, can additionally be used to plant seeds).
Plots for creativity can be any, but the most interesting animals are obtained, especially hedgehogs, foxes, cats, pups, birds - cocks, owls, peacocks, fish and insects.
Draw or print a picture-basis. First glue colored paper (if we have a paper application), then carefully turn nanrsite adhesive on the leaves, it is better droplets at the edges to the foundation is not warped. If you need to finish the picture elements, it can be done after gluing the leaves.
After work wait until the picture is dry and place it under the press a day or two. To keep longer now, it is better to put in a frame or laminate.
