Scented Leaf Basket

Bag full of large dried leaves, enough to coat the bowl with three layers of leaves (see below) 

6 or more seeds that grow in the late summer and fcdl, such as American daisy, Texas bluebonnet, zinnia, prairie coneflower, and other wildflowers 

Turn the plastic bowl upside down. Using the spoon, scoop out some of the petroleum jelly. Spread it on the flat side of the cut lemon. 

Rub the lemon all over the bottom of the bowl. This adds scent and also keeps the leaves from sticking to the bowl. 

With your paintbrush, spread some glue on top of the leaves. Squeeze some of the juice out of your lemon on top. Again, the lemon juice will mcike the basket smell good

When the leaves are all dry, turn the leaf bowl right side up and gently pull the plastic bowl out. Your leaf bowl is now ready for its soil and seeds. When you have added your soil and seeds, place your Scented Leaf Basket indoors in a sunny spot, such as a windowsill, so that the seeds will have the light they need to grow.
