Prepare the Leaves
![20151211_095515.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FEK/EI3I/II0MAGCZ/FEKEI3III0MAGCZ.jpg&filename=20151211_095515.jpg)
Cut off the end of the leaves and clean them from any dust or dirt.
Laminate

Place the leaves in the laminating pouches and pass them through the laminator.
make sure you keep the pouch extended as it enters the laminator to prevent the pouch from forming wrinkles ( because these pouches are supposed to have flat items inside them).
Pass the pouch twice in the laminator if you feel it hasn't melted correctly.
Remove Excess Pouch

Using the precision cutter, cut 2-3 mm around the leaves to remove excess of the laminating pouches
Punch Holes and Make the Hangers

Using the hole punch, make holes into the leaves, these don't have to be exactly in the middle of them.
once done, cut around 8 cm of ribbon, pass them through the holes and tape them.
Hang and Show It Off to Your Friends !
