DIY葉子書簽, 記錄秋天的心情

編 者 注：

金色的秋天到來了，當美麗的樹葉紛紛落下時，同學們想不想自己動手來制作葉子書簽呢，下面就讓我們來看看是怎么做的吧……

1. Gather small autumn leaves or larger ones that can be broken or cut up.

收集一些可以弄碎的樹葉，大小都可以。

2. Clean and dry them if they are dirty or wet.

洗凈然后晾干。

3. Press them by setting them between two sheets of waxed paper. Then set the leaves and waxed paper inside the pages of a book. Put a pile of heavier books like phone books or hardbound novels or text books on top of the book holding the leaves. Set them aside in a dry area and let them press dry and flat for 2 weeks. Pressing and drying them will remove excess moisture.

把葉子夾在兩張蠟紙之間，然后把葉子和蠟紙一起放進書中。用電話簿、精裝小說或者課本之類比較重的書壓在上面。把這一堆書在干燥的地方放2周，去掉葉子中的水分。

4. Measure and cut two same sized pieces of clear plastic， self stick shelf or drawer， liner in the shape of a paper bookmark， about 8 inches by 2 inches or wider if you prefer.

把透明塑膠、具有粘性的貨架(或者抽屜)襯墊裁切成大小相同、呈書簽形的兩片，長2英寸，寬8英寸，當然更寬也可以。

5. Remove the backing from one of the two pieces of self-stick plastic liner. Then set it on a table or another hard work surface， sticky side up.

把其中一片塑膠襯墊的背面揭下來，放在桌子或者其他硬物的表面，膠面朝上。

6. Get your dried pressed autumn leaves and arrange a few on the sticky part of the plastic shelf liner. Make sure you leave a small border around the outer edge of the liner that does not have any leaves on it， like a small frame.

把壓干的葉子貼在襯墊的膠面上。確保在襯墊外沿沒有葉子的地方留下一圈邊，像一個框那樣。

7. Take the other piece of sticky clear plastic liner and peel off the backing.

把另一片襯墊的背面揭下。

8. Starting at the top or bottom of a 2-inch side， set it on top of the leaves and other piece of liner， pressing down as you go.

從這張襯墊頂部或尾部距邊緣2英寸的地方開始，與葉子和另一片襯墊粘合。
