First, you will need to collect various leaves from your yard/neighborhood. Collect small, medium and large ones so you have a variety of sizes to work with on your pages later on.
Then you will need some kind of bookpaper and several colors of crayons with the wrappers removed.
Next, place your leaf vein-side up underneath the bookpaper. Use the side of the crayon and rub over the top to create a leaf rubbing. The darker colors show up better. Try layering a few colors for variation!
Look how many different kinds you can make! :D
Cut out your leaves and now you are ready to accent your pages!
