DIY: Making a Pouch from Leaves Imprint

I tried out a pin from pinterest where you can make your own prints from leaves. The process was fun, but the results were not permanent. The colors from the leaves imprints started to turn brown after a few days.

These are leaves from my butterfly pea plant. ( They are actually green, bad lighting here.)

I use cotton canvas as the fabric.

Lay a piece of muslin over the leaves and pound with a hammer. Here I use a different leaf, the color just faded within a day.

When the prints were fresh, they look very promising. Oh well, it was still a fun project for the kids to play printing with a hammer.
