(That way, even if the leaves don't make it in tact, she won't have bits of leaf falling out onto her.) I'd also write a quick note explaining what it is and that you hope it makes it in one piece! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-secure-this-artwork#post-2638318 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 09:22:55 +0000 Mamaof2 2638318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: sandwich it between 2 pieces of cardboard </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-secure-this-artwork#post-2638316 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 09:21:45 +0000 mediagirl 2638316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is making leaf art for her cousins and wants to send it to them (they live far, far away). I am trying to figure out how to keep the leaves from falling apart in the envelope on the way across the country. </p> <p>She is gluing leaves to pictures she has painted. </p> <p>Any suggestions on how to secure them on the paper? My SIL hates messes so I'm sure she would love leaf crumbs falling out of an envelope... Help? </p>
