Pressed-Leaf Halloween Cards and Gift Tags

Gather freshly fallen leaves with stems in-tact. If desired, use a pair of scissors to trim them into a pumpkin shape.

With a craft knife, cut the facial features and snip the stems to your preferred length.

Dry the leaves for several days in a leaf press or sandwiched in newsprint inside a heavy book.

Coat one side with spray adhesive, press onto colored paper or note cards, and let dry. For the tags, punch a small hole in the paper, thread with a ribbon, and tie to a bag of candy.
