DIY Placemats the Kids Can Make for Holiday Meals

Paint, print, paint and so on, until you are pleased with your design. Mix and match leaves, branches and twigs as you like. If you’re using finer or more delicate fronds and twigs, place them on a sheet of newspaper before you coat them with paint. Then place them on your paper and apply pressure as described above. Don’t worry if the print isn’t an exact copy of the leaf; abstract surprises are part of the fun.
