Well I did it, made a leaf swag sort of thing for my back entry. It took me awhile to get the waxed leaves to stick but I did it. I think.

Wow, Nancy, this is a very cool idea! I think the idea turned out quite beautiful because you were able to use the real leaves in a way that allows them not to curl up and turn all brown. Fantastic@ I will save this idea to try myself when I go to North Carolina later this month. Living in Florida, we don't really have much of a fall.

Such beautiful leaves. Looks really nice on the curtain.

Alee,
Wax paper and an iron. lay down a piece of wax paper, put the leaves on it, put another piece over the leaves and iron both sides. let them set a bit, then peal the paper off. TA-DA!
