I enjoy going out into the yard with a roll of clear tape (narrow or wide) and gathering leaves that will fit the width of the tape & placing them onto the tape along whatever length I want it to be. I have even pulled up tiny flowering plants from down in the grass & used them as well as leaves & flowers root & all. When finished take it inside & top the first piece with another piece of clear tape to sandwich your leaves/plants/flowers in the middle! The ones with roots look really interesting. If you get leaves with holes that's OK - it makes "lace" ! Place your project in the window so the light will shine through it & enjoy a little outside indoors! This will last quite awhile!

Go outside and gather acorns. Use them in mason or ball jars to wedge candles down in for a centerpiece. (10/02/2008)

Many things can be made from pine cones so why not start collecting them now and making wreaths, fire starters, miniature x-mas trees for decoration and of course, ornaments for your tree. Good luck. (10/03/2008)
I took all my leftover fabric, cut it into 2 inch strips, sewed the ends together, plated it (as in hair) then made a nice rug. I used a large needle and strong thread to sew the plates together to lay flat on the floor or the back of the couch. They are very pretty. (11/29/2008)
