Guide for Making a Leaf Collection Presentation

Preserve leaves

• To make your leaf collection last, you can preserve your leaves by sealing them between sheets of wax paper or covering them with a glycerin solution, according to a writer on the NewHampshire.com website.

Assemble Information

• Ensure that you have information about each leaf in your collection. What kind is it? Where and when did you collect it? Why is it special to you?

Prepare the Medium

• Leaf collections are amenable to many methods of presentation. You can mount, preserve and present leaves using felt boards, foam boards, shadow boxes, and binders. Use what is available to you.

Organization

• Place each leaf with its information. On a board, you can pin the leaf next to a card of information. In a binder or album, you can glue the leaf to paper with information about the leaf.
