First way to use a laminate leaf is to just laminate it to keep it for long term. Maybe it is a tree you planted and want to remember for years to come, or a 4 leaf clover that you found, or a leaf you want to keep as a reminder of a trip or an experience. Laminating a leaf is a wonderful way to preserve any kind of memory.
Laminate your leaf and place some Xyron Magnet Tape to the back of the leaf and turn it into a cute magnet for the fridge or for fun cookie sheet play with the kids!
Once you have laminated the leaf and added magnets to the back you can now add some google eyes with the Xyron 3" Sticker Maker and draw in a mouth with a Sharpie to make some cute leaf faces!! You do not have to turn these into magnets, but they do look super cute on a fridge!
After laminating the leaves, punch a hole in one end and add to a bit of twine to add to the top of a present instead of a bow for that beautiful rustic look!
