Date leaf Placemat

Collect large leaves, dry them, and laminate or glue them onto a fabric backing for durability.

You can use table runners, chargers, or fabric napkins instead of placemats.

Cotton, linen, bamboo, or vinyl are durable and easy to clean.

Trace or stamp a leaf on paper or fabric, then repeat the design in a regular sequence.

Collect and press leaves, then string them together for garlands or frame them for wall art.
