  1. An organized approach to doing your leaf project.

  2. #1 Begin by collecting good healthy leaves from trees, and placing them in a leaf press (book). Don’t forget the paper towel on both sides of the leaf, so that the leaf will dry faster and not stain the book.

  3. #2 After a leaf has been in a press for a few days, remove the leaf and place it in a storage box.

  4. #3 Now that you have a fair collection of leaves (10 to 20) it’s time to see what types of leaves you still need to collect.

  5. #4 The instructions tell you how many leaves you will need of each type. So take your leaves out of the box and organizing your leaves by types. You will need: 6 --simple pinnate 2 --compound pinnate 1 --doubly compound pinnate 3 --simple palmate 1 --compound palmate 1 --simple parallel 3 --needles 3 --scales

  6. ( 6 ) simple pinnate ( 2 ) compound pinnate ( 1 ) doubly compound pinnate ( 1 ) compound palmate ( 3 ) simple palmate ( 1 ) simple parallel ( 3 ) scales ( 3 ) needles

  7. #5 Once you have figured out what types of leaves you still need: Go and get them!

  8. #6 You should now print out pages to use in your leaf projects with the titles and page numbers on them. Compound Palmate Simple Pinnate 7 1

  9. #7 Using a few small pieces of clear tape, attach your leaves onto the 8 ½ x 10 pages of your project. Don’t forget to allow room on the page for the leaf labels! Compound Pinnate Compound Palmate Simple Pinnate 4 7 1

  10. #8 Create a label for each leaf and attach (tape) it on the paper next to the leaf. Remember: there is extra credit for color coding.

  14. #11 Remember: for extra credit the label colors must match the index colors! #1 Klamath Plum Simple Pinnate Simple Pinnate #1 Klamath Plum Simple Pinnate #1 Klamath Plum Simple Pinnate 1

  15. #12 FYI: you may bring your project in before the due date if you would like a quick “pre-check” and some corrective criticism.
