Paper Punching Leaves


Paper punches.....  not just for paper.


A whole new world opens up once you start looking outside.  Thank you Color Me Katie for the idea!



Now I'm drying them for future use... cards maybe?

Those will be pretty on cards. Good idea! I would copy you if I had any paper punches. ;)

What a clever idea! This is why I love blogging, I'd never think to try that! Pinning for later. :) -- your newest follower.

Love these! I'm going to dip mine in Parowax to preserve them and then mount them in frames.

PS: Thanks for dropping by my blog and leaving a comment.

What a great idea! This could keep children occupied for quite a while and would be a lot of fun to do with them as well! You could arrange the shapes into pictures or designs and iron them between wax paper pieces to make window decorations.

Oh! This is genius! I have bunches of these punches (accidental rhyme!)and haven't used them in a long time. I can't wait to do this, thanks!

Saw your link on the Ingenious Inkling blog. This is soooo cool! What a fantastic way to preserve some of the fallen leaves. TFS the idea. :)

And the leftover part could be a frame - how creative - I am afraid I have to pin this for future use.

Mariel said...

Popping over from Bonbon Break ... Just had to tell you how much I LOVE this idea. We made crushed leaf mosaics recently & this is yet another fun art project to make with leaves.
