A few years ago, I went back east to see some family and collected some leaves while I was there to remember my trip by. I pressed them in a book when I returned, but just let them sit around for a long time not knowing what to do with them. Then I came up with this idea.
This project was really easy. I just got frames from Target for a couple of dollars each, acid free metallic sparkly scrapbook paper, and ribbon. I used a tiny bit of glue stick to secure the leaves in place on the paper, then framed them. I used hot glue to glue the ribbon to the back of each frame.
This would be a great family activity as well. You could go collect fall leaves as a family, and then display the leaves you had collected. I love this wall hanging so much I have been known to leave it up all year round.
