Preserving Leaves with Glycerin

Here are the steps I used for preserving leaves with glycerin.  

I then used these leaves for making texture rubbing with kids.  

I used these leaves for a leaf rubbing project using some chunky crayons that I made by melting down recycled crayons.  Take a look at my blog post to see how to make the chunky crayons.  I used rice paper which is thin like tissue paper, but stronger.

Leaf Rubbings Made with Recycled Chunky Crayons

Notice the retro labels of the tree names.  

They made a fun addition to this project!
