Fall Leaves Sun catcher

Beautiful fall color for your window!

You will need:

• Beautiful fall leaves.  The more colorful the better.
• Waxed paper
• Newspaper
• A towel or ironing board
• An iron

Cover work surface with newspapers.  If you have an ironing board, use that for your work surface, but if you don't, then spread a towel on a table to protect it from the heat.

Lay down a sheet of wax paper.

Arrange leaves on top of the waxed paper. Cover with another piece of wax paper. 

Place a piece of newspaper on top and iron with a warm iron until crayon shavings melt and the two sheets of wax paper sticks together. 

Trim and hang in the window.
