Leaf Transparencies


MATERIALS:
2 sheets white paper
colored leaf or two
block of plain paraffin, kind used in making jelly.

DIRECTIONS:
Select a colorful leaf with an unusual shape. Place it between the 2 sheets of white paper. Sprinkle slivers of paraffin generously on the paper and press with a hot iron. The melting paraffin will seal the leaf between the pages.

From construction paper or cardboard, cut 2 identical frames and glue the waxed picture between them. Hang picture in a sunny window. Sunlight showing through the waxed picture gives the effect of a stained glass picture.
Ferns leaves done like this make a pretty lampshade.
