Microscope
In case you like art made with leaves, there are some simple ideas that anybody could use. All you have to do is to find a leaf that you like and press it. Once it has dried place it between two pieces of glass. The glass should be secured to each other, and the best way to do it is to wrap colored linen book cloth tape as a frame for it. Choose the color of the tape according to the color of the leaf.
