Wax Paper & Autumn Leaf Sun Catcher

Fall is here! The leaves are turning and air is crisp. One of my favorite fall crafts as a kid was the Leaf Sun Catcher. Today, Elena helped me make one for our new home!

Elena picked most of the leaves out and we laid them out on a cooling rack to inspect.

Then we chose the design we wanted and arranged the leaves on a long piece of wax paper.

The wax paper is on an old towel. We folded the wax paper over top and turned the iron on high.

Then we placed an extra towel over top and ironed the wax to seal the leaves in place.

We held it in front of the light but ultimately taped it to a window. I cannot wait to see the morning sunlight pour through the rich colors!
