Fun Fall Project

I read about making waxed leaves on a web site last week, and we decided to give it a try! Turns out dipping stuff in wax is fun for everyone -- even me.

The process:

And the results:

We even went back outside and got some more items... flowers, herbs, broken sticks, rocks... anything we could dip!

And here was my favorite thing -- now preserved forever in wax.

We ended up making some fall decorations out of the leaves...

So it was a fun way to spend an afternoon.... although trying to scrape all the dried wax droplets off the stovetop the next afternoon was not as much of a fun time. Live and learn I guess!
