Make memories by creating these pressed leaves place mats. It's a fall craft that kids will remember and pass on as a Thanksgiving tradition.

What you'll need:

How to make it:

1. Gather some fall leaves.
2. Place each of the leaves between two pieces of waxed paper.
3. Place the leaves inside a large book to flatten them.
4. After the leaves are flattened, take them out of the book and remove the waxed paper. This may take a day to about a week.
5. Cut the paper sack in half, discarding the bottom of the sack.
6. Place one piece of the paper sack on a safe place to iron (countertop is one idea, ask first!)
7. Preheat your iron to medium setting (no steam).
8. Place one sheet of wax paper (cut to place mat size) on the sack.
9. Arrange your leaves on the wax paper in any way desired.
10. Place the second sheet of wax paper (cut to place mat size) on top of the leaves.
11. Place the second piece of paper sack to cover.
12. Iron on the sack, checking to see if the wax paper has adhered together. Let cool.
13. You can trim around the edges or use decorative scissors to give it a different look.
