Leaf Clothesline-Display beautiful autumn colors!

There are countless possibilities to get creative with autumn leaves. Their colors just beg for it! This is an activity you can do anytime of year where there are leaves present, but it is particularly pretty in autumn.
Many ages can work together on this project.
Begin with finding two trees (or poles) to hang a rope from. I used a clothesline from a dollar store in this pictures. It was a dollar...you can't beat that! I did a couple simple knots. Make sure the rope is taunt enough so you don't create a tripping hazard.


 Next, just hang the leaves and clip on with clothespins! We had a problem with the clothespins being to heavy for the leaves, so you need to use larger leaves or clip several together. This is another reason to make sure the rope is taunt, it will keep the leaves from flipping. 


This can be done inside as well as a mini clothesline.. Just find a wallspace to hang it, especially if you have corkboard.
