Selling leaves earns a million a year? What exactly makes these leaves so good?
Leaf vein decorations
Every leaf has a different shape, making them perfect for leaf vein ornaments
They are also very easy to make, even a child can do it
1. Preparation
If you do not have baking soda at home, you can use soap instead; laundry soap or toilet soap both work
2. Boil water, add baking soda
Add 10 grams of baking soda to 1000 milliliters of water, or 10 grams of soap; once it dissolves, you have alkaline water
3. Add the leaves once the water boils
After the alkaline water comes to a boil, add the leaves, turn the heat to low, and cover with a lid
4. Take them out once boiled
Once the water darkens, they are done and you can fish them out
5. Take them out and brush off the leaf flesh
After taking them out, gently brush off the leaf flesh with a toothbrush; it takes less than 2 minutes to brush them clean
6. Press dry
Once the leaf flesh is brushed off, place the leaves on toilet paper and cover with another layer of toilet paper, then press dry
7. Dye them however you like
After pressing dry, you can paint on whatever color you like
Once dyed, let them air for a bit and they will dry in no time
You can tie on tassels to make bookmarks, or bundle them into a leaf vein bouquet, put it in a perfume bottle to release fragrance and serve as an air freshener; it is both beautiful and practical
You can also make leaf vein wind chimes: cut out the shapes you like, tie them to strings, and feather-thin leaf vein butterflies will flutter in the wind~
Leaf painting
Coat a leaf with paint, then press it onto white paper for 10 seconds, and you will have a "highly skilled" painting
Larger leaves can be coated with more colors. How about it? Everyone is an artist!

Leaf decorations
Some flower lovers just love leaves and feel they never tire of looking at them, that they have a special feeling all their own; then you might try turning leaves directly into room decorations
I believe everyone has done this: tuck leaves inside a book to make specimens
Then put them in a picture frame; placed at home they really suit the mood
Whether it is modern Nordic style or retro Chinese style, they can hold their own~
