Picture Frame Crafts with Leaves

This weekend I got to spend with my mom making food and crafting little treasures from beautiful leaves from the mountains of the Wachungs in New Jersey. We bought the picture frames at Dollar Tree. A mini glue gun and some acid free construction paper from WalMart.

This project was really fun. Some picture frames were easier to work with than others. I have a variety of frames so you can see the different types that can be used. I really love those glass ones the best but the boxed ones are pretty because it gives the project a shadow box look. Flowers and bright paper can be used for spring time! You can have all sorts of fun with this stuff. Just make sure the items that are used are dried before putting in these boxes. You can dry them between newspapers and place under some books for weight. If you're alergic use fake stuff. :) Lots of variety of "Real" looking flowers and greenery to choose from at the craft stores.
