Everyone can feel the cold weather coming at us, since here comes fall! Though a lot of people say they don't like autumn, it's a great season. There's a lot to do, it's the season of planting, there's Halloween, thanksgiving, and you can see the holidays coming up. There's the first snow, the trees are bright, and it's a great time. So read on to see some stuff you can do by taking advantage of autumn.

If you like to read, why not make a bookmark. Take a piece of cardstock and cut a strip 1.5" by 4". Then go out side and find lots of colorful leaves. Find ones that aren't too crunchy; ones that can be matted down. No take a book, and 2 sheets ob wax paper. You should choose a big heavy book that weighs a lot. Open it up to the 50th to last page and put in the 2 sheets of wax paper, with the leaves laid out between them. Close the book and lay it down, so most pages are above the wax paper and leaves. Leave it like that for a bout 10 minutes, and then take out your leaves.

Get a can of spray glue and the rest of your card stock. Lay out all the leaves flat on the cardstock, with a couple centimeters in-between each leaf. Spray all the leaves with glue. Now, take out the white strip and start putting on leaves. Mat them down on the bookmark flat, wrapping around it. You want the bookmark to stay the shape of a bookmark. It's great if they overlap, you don't want any white showing. Once it's done (make sure there is no white showing, and all the leaves are not curling Put it back in the book, between the wax sheets. Put some more weight on the book, and leave it for 15 minutes. Then when it's done, it should be COMPLETELY flat. Now, you can get it laminated, then snip off all plastic that sticks out on the edges, or use it just like that.
