Drying leaves to have the exact same curve

Drying the leaves naturally gives you such fantastic curls and curves but sometimes your design needs a more controlled and unified look.
Thread a stack of autumn leaves with wire. Push the leaves together tightly.
Set aside the entire stack to dry. The leaves will all shrivel and curled in a similar shape.
As the nestled leaves dry they will all curve and shrivel up together creating a strand of almost identical autumn leaves for you to design with. This tiny bit of extra effort makes such a difference in the overall look of your design.
The leaves are now ready to design with.
