As the year draws to a close and the days become grayer, shorter, and colder, you have to start looking for ways to spend time indoors instead of outside. Arts and crafts and DIY projects are a great way to make the most of your free afternoons, especially during the fall and winter months which offer plenty of natural crafting materials. With all the autumn foliage littering the parks and streets, it would be crazy not to take advantage of the plentiful opportunities they present, so go ahead and get raking!
You'll Need:
- leaves of your choice
- soda ash
- bleach
- découpage glue
Here's How:
1. Boil water in a pot, add the soda ash, add the leaves to the pot, and cook for 3 hours.
2. Drain the water, place the leaves in a sieve, and rinse them under running water.
3. Cook the leaves for another 20 minutes in a mixture of water and bleach.
4. Drain the water again and catch the leaves in a sieve. Carefully rub the top layer of each leaf under cold water.
5. Finally, brush the leaves with découpage glue and let dry.
Now you can use the nearly transparent foliage to make various kinds of jewelry and decorative pieces. For example, use the leaves as a pendant for a necklace, place them in a picture frame, or incorporate them in a homemade wind chime, as seen in the video. Let your creativity flow!

WaO...it's great

[@lisalanham7516]

I am NOT boiling bleach water on my stove.

[@JOSERodriguez-pk7tp]

It's best to do this outdoors where it will be very ventilated and on a hotplate.

[@SeaRatul1321]

@JOSE Rodriguez it is still dumb to boil bleach anywhere

[@mr.dracss]

Will it work?

[@celimartins8291]

Só queria saber como faz em português?

[@rejoycefantilanan9989]

Is it okay if it is baking soda and not soda ash?

[@serbian_nationalist14]

Bruh just use chlorine and water...

[@chadmcalpha3511]

What makes it different from using baking soda?

[@catalinapm6586]

you can actually make sodium carbonate yourself, just put baking soda in a pan with high heat and stirr, you will see that it starts becoming whiter and the grains are bigger. and that's how you make soda ash, of course you can't know the purity, but it works really well

[@lechatbotte.]

Actually you place the baking soda in your oven, the heating changes the chemistry. Plenty of recipes everywhere. To the people upset about such things don’t do it. Sheesh

[@ShailizaaRVashishtha1111]

Is Baking soda ,washing powder???? Plz tell me

[@SonOfFurzehatt]

@@ShailizaaRVashishtha1111 baking soda and washing soda (soda ash) are different, but related compounds. You can convert baking soda to washing soda with heat - either in a dry pan or in boiling water. Be aware that it will fizz violently with hot water.

Didn’t include any quantities, homie

Working with chemical is dangerous!! I would definitely take this video down for people safety.
