| - Place the flowers and/or leaves under paper, then rub a crayon over the paper to make an image.
|
- Get some clay and form it into a shape you like. Press a rock, flower or leaf, etc into the clay. You can leave it in the clay or gently remove it to leave an indentation. Place it in the sun to dry.
