Leaf placemats

I love our new placemats! And we had so much fun making them. I got the idea of collage pictures made out of clear contact paper and tape from the internet (can't remember where), and I thought it would be really pretty with leaves. So on Monday I told everyone to collect leaves after school, and then we put them together for our family home evening activity.
First I cut the contact paper into 13.5 X 18" pieces and took off the backing. We put them on the counter, sticky side up, and covered them with our leaves. When we were done, we put another piece of contact paper on top and pressed them together. Then we took black duct tape and folded them over to make clean edges. So easy and cute.
