Skeleton leaves are semi-transparent leaves, also called fossil leaves.
The fresh leaves get wither and lose freshness. After a span of time
these leaves get dried and the fleshy portion is naturally removed,
leaving behind the skeleton of the leaves. The leaves are also made by
soaking fresh leaves in bleached water, then hand rubbing the soft green
flesh from the network of veins.
These skeleton leaves can be dyed to variant colors to give them a
beautiful and pleasing appearance. Although delicate by nature, they are
actually sturdy and can easily be glued to a variety of surfaces. They
come in several colors and sizes to meet a complete line of crafting
needs. The delicate beauty of these leaves is sometimes meant to capture
life, hope and memories.
These delicate, gorgeous skeleton leaves are a perfect accent for all
craft projects. They make a beautiful and elegant statement when they
adorn your wedding invitations. They work surprisingly well on gift
tags, greeting cards, scrapbooks, collages, papermaking, stenciling, and
stamping. They are perfect for decorating bridal bouquet, wedding
reception table, candles, and wedding favors.
