Crafts are not something that is easy for me to do, I can paint a wall like there is no tomorrow and I can color a beautiful picture in a coloring book. However doing the most basic of crafts is painfully hard to do, unlike my sisters I didn’t receive the “artsy” or “craft” gene as I like to say. So the other day Katherine and I started on our journey of pressing leaves in wax paper, which of course is a very basic craft.
We put on our shoes and jackets and marched into the woods with a basket in hand to find the most perfect of leaves to keep forever, finding the most perfect leaves is fairly difficult to find if you don’t have a keen eye. The crunch of the leaves echoed our footsteps while Henry the squirrel chattered at us, he was telling us (I believe) that we were invading his privacy and his territory of nuts. We have nut trees everywhere, so Henry eats very well during the winter.
After an hour of looking and finding the perfect leaves and a few nuts along the way, it was time to start our craft. Before our endeavor I had already gotten the wax paper, 2 rags, the iron and the ironing board all ready to go so we could finish our project in one felled swoop.
The results are pretty awesome if I do say so myself, so a person with ZERO crafty ability can do a basic preschool craft with her four year old.
