Harvest Time placemats

So, I've been trying to find a way to make this blog new and innovative instead of only regurgitating what I find all over the internet that I like. Although I will be posting my findings, I'm also trying to come up with creative projects on my own. So I had an idea the other day that I haven't tried yet, but I'll share with you now and give you the results later.

I remember doing this Fall project when I was younger where you get leaves that have fallen off the trees, put them under paper and rub a crayon over it to reveal the leaf impression. I'm going to try making placemats with a collage of leaves in festive fall colors. They may work as disposable placemats only. But perhaps we could take them to get laminated if they're pretty enough. This seems to be a super easy project that could be done with the kids too. Maybe we can even personalize them for Thanksgiving.

I'll be getting the supplies for this soon. I'll let you know how they turn out.
