DIY超级简单的自制叶子墙挂丨Framed Leaf DIY,So easy!

从回家路上捡几片叶子开始！x0aStart From Collect Leaves On Your Way Home!...











植物可以赋予空间生气，虽然家里已经摆放了很多心爱的植物，不过我们还是希望办公室里也可以有一些绿色。但是，因为有限的空间限制，可能只是一盆植物就会占据办公间里的一整块角落。因此，我们想出来了一个良策，这不仅不会占用你宝贵的办公空间，还能给你带来相同的视觉享受。下面就是制作DIY绿叶挂框简单且具有革命创新性的步骤啦。



第1步：在闷头去找叶子之前，先来了解一下自己挂框的尺寸。我们选取的挂框是16×16的，所以在找叶子的时候我都会留心。要挑质地结实一点的叶子，因为柔软的叶子很快就会变黄。

第2步：把树叶夹在两张牛皮纸中间，然后用厚厚一摞书压在上面（越重越好）。这样叶子应该会完全被压平。

第3步：把二氧化硅干燥剂放在牛皮纸上，再放一些在书的周围，因为它们可以有效防止叶子变黑。我们是在网上特意买的干燥剂，不过你也可以用大米（就是看上去有一点乱而已）。大约一周以后你就可以把上面的书拿开——之前已经放了5天——偶尔检查检查它们是否被压的平整，是不是还保持着绿色。

第4步：压了两周以后，需要你将叶子拿到通风的地方，喷洒强效定型的发胶。喷2到3层发胶，直到叶子看上去闪闪发亮为止。

第5步：这些挂框的底色原本不是白色的，所以我剪了一块和玻璃大小符合的白色卡纸做背景。如果你发现叶子变黑或者变黄了，只需要更换叶子就好了。













Plants can bring life to a space, and while we have some well-lovedones throughout our home, we wanted some greenery in the office. But, because of the limited floor space, it could be overwhelming to dedicate an entire corner to a potted plant. So, we came up with an easy solution that feel sequally beautiful without having to give up precious real estate. Here are the simple – yet transfor mative – steps to make a framed leaf DIY.

Step 1: Know your framesize before you head out to find your plant fronds. The frame we used is 16 x 16 so I kept that in mind while looking for leaves. Pick firmer leaves because soft ones tend to turn yellow more quickly.

Step 2: Sandwich your leaves between parchment paper and place heavy books (the heavier the better)on top to press the leaves down. The fronds should be completely covered.

Step 3: Scatter silicapacks onto the parchment paper and around the books since they help keep the leaves from turning brown. We bought silica packs from Amazon, but you can also use rice (it's justa bit messier). Leave the fronds under their books for about a week – we left them for five days – checking on them occasionally to make sure they've flattened correctly and are maintaining their green color.

Step 4: After twoweeks of pressing, take leaves to a well ventilated area and spray them withstrong-hold hairspray. Spray two to three coats until the leaves look shiny.

Step 5: These frames didn't come with white matting so I cut matte poster board to fit the size ofthe glass and act as the backdrop. If at any point you find that your leaves are browning or yellowing, you can simply switch them out.
