Came across this when I was looking for Fall craft projects, Kim got me thinking about them when she asked her question the other day.

How amazing is that? Who would have thought to take maple leaves and make them look like roses? I may have to try that! Thanks!

Very cool. I bookmarked this. I will have to give it a try. I wonder how fragile they will be once the leaves dry out?

Who comes up with this stuff?!? That is amazing! We don't have maple leaves but we have some that probably would work. I'll give it about a month and see what my daughter and I can come up with.

So I know this is an older post, but I have a question about it... do you think they will be pretty after they've been made a while? I want to make them for a Thanksgiving centerpiece for my MIL but I don't want to go to all the work for them to look yucky after. Do you think they'd last and still be pretty if I made them out of my leaves that are falling now? Or would they stay brown.
