Crafting Secrets

I have a wood stool that I’ve sanded and would like to repaint and add real leaves to. I want to keep the natural essence and color of the leaves but am not sure how to go about applying them or making sure they don’t dry up or crumble with time. Is it a matter of preserving the leaves first or just sticking them to the wet paint, letting it dry then applying a varnish to on top?

Soak the leaves in a solution of glycerin and water- 1 part glycerin to 2 parts water. Leave them for about 6 days and the color should stay indefinitely, just dry them thoroughly before applying them to your project. You could also spray them with an acrylic craft sealant. I would allow the paint to dry and use an adhesive to stick them on before applying clear polyurethane.

Here are some great options for the woodworker on your list!

About the author of the videos:

My name is Merve, I am a Muslim, an engineer from New York, a mom, a wife and a crafter by nature. My parents introduced me to arts and crafts at a very early age. I love doing arts and crafts as a hobby but most importantly to teach my son about nature and manual skills. My parents and I traveled quite a lot, thus I was able to pick up different cultures and languages easily. My parents introduced me to arts and crafts at a very early age. I love doing arts and crafts as a hobby .

As a child I watched many Japanese shows. These shows influenced my taste, my skills and even my choice in profession. One of these arts and crafts shows that influenced me was called ¿Can I do it? Or in Japanese, Dekirukana? (?????). (Their protagonists were Noppo (????? Noppo-san), played by Ei Takami, and Gonta (????? Gonta-kun). I only watched the show from age 4-5 but it did leave quite an impression in my life as well as in the life of many other children.
