I was looking around the internet for making fall leaves collages and I found this. I thought it was really neat and thought I'd share it with y'all.
I have'nt tried it yet... but if mine dont look bad I will post a picture! If they dont turn out..forget it! LOL
If y'all do try it and they come out I wouild love to see the picture! Good Luck!

Maple Leaf Roses(off topic but wanted to share)
that is amazing! how neat! please show pictures when you try i can't wait to see!
That's pretty cool -- I've seen a similar method for making roses from ribbons, but I like this better! In the last photo, it almost looks like the arrangement might have been sprayed with some sort of preservative.... ? But I think I'd just as soon make them, enjoy them for a season, and compost them when they get too battered. ("Compost them" just sounds better than saying "toss them out," don't you think?)
It was alot easier than I thought and alot of fun! It didnt take me long to make this bouquet,and I think with more practice they will look even better. I think they would make a nice addition to the thanksgiving table or any fall decoration. Best of all..they were FREE! I am going to make a few more bouquets to give to my neighbors. Now its y'alls turn!! Lets see yours!!
Hers another pic....Not too bad for a first try! And GREAT idea critter! I dont plan on spraying any to preserve them. I dont know how long they will last without the spray tho...but no biggie....theres planty more leaves to make more! ;0)
Lovely! I like the way you used different colors, especially the ones that ended up with contrasting centers.
*tapping foot impatiently* waiting for our maple leaves to turn!
:-)
thats incredible i shared it with others...thanks linda..............hi "critter"...8))
I put my leaves around my chicken center piece...Im going to work on more tomorrow and come up with some more ideas...this is alot of fun!
