January 30, 2009, Newsletter Issue #379: Preserving Leaves
Tip of the Week
All leaves can be preserved and dried by pressing.
It is important to note that leaves do not require a great deal of pressure. Too much pressure will crush them. The best method for preserving leaves is to place them between sheets of newspaper and place them under a rug or mattress for up to two weeks.
You should always check leaves for moisture before placing them under pressure. Water spots will leave ugly brown marks on the leaves.
