This week we had some fun with leaves. We made these super cute, super easy leaf coasters. First we gathered leaves from around the neighborhood. We used paper towels and heavy books to flatten them. After a few days we got ready to make our coasters.
Supplies: Here is what we used to make our coasters.
-
pressed leaves
-
craft foam
-
duct tape
-
clear contact paper
Directions: Cut the foam into 4.5 inch squares. Place the flattened leaf on the foam and cover it with the contact paper. Trim away the excess contact paper so that it is the same size as the foam square. Use the duct tape to wrap around the edges and trim off the excess. It is THAT simple!
I got the GREAT idea from Frugal Family Blog. Valerie has an awesome tutorial on how to make them! By the way, the kids absolutely LOVE these and I LOVE them too! They are just SO cute and we had so much fun making them!
