Learn three fun ways to preserve beautiful fall leaves using books, glycerin, and wax paper.

Jessie showed how to press leaves in books using paper towels to absorb water.

The video explained that heavy books keep leaves flat and prevent them from curling up as they dry.

Jessie mixed glycerin with warm water in a 1:2 ratio to create a preserving solution.

The glycerin method keeps leaves flexible by replacing water with glycerin, which prevents bacteria growth.

Justin demonstrated using an iron with wax paper on low to medium heat for 3-5 minutes per side.
