As we head into winter, one last leaf craft project. It’s admittedly an insubstantial, even useless, project, but I’ve had a lot of fun snipping and gluing. The instructions are simple: assemble leaves you have dried, and snip and glue to create butterfly-like creatures. Maple leaves seem to work the best, and it is fun to use two, different-colored leaves in one butterfly. I used the dried leaf stems as antennae, and applied gold metallic wax (called Rub ‘n Buff) to one of the butterflies. You could use paint to make them more lepidopterologically* accurate, but I like these the way they are.
*I have no idea whether this is spelled correctly, but am pretty sure no one else knows, either.
Something for (almost) Nothing 
Beautiful– like treasures from a Victorian woman’s scrapbook.
Glad you like!
