Pressing leaves between paper sheets and placing a book and a box of weights is a good method to dry out leaves. This way they will stay flat and keep their colours. The equipment you’ll need is:

• Leaves
• Paper sheets
• A book
• Box of weights (100g)
   

Method:

• Insert the leaves in the paper sheets folded in two
• Stack the paper sheets with the leaves inside
• Place the book on top of the stacked paper sheets
• Finally, place the box of weights on top of the book
