Here is a fun easy project to do with the Queen Anne’s Lace that grows all along our roadsides. Right now, before they go to seed, pick some Queen Anne’s Lace flowers. Look for nice flat ones and cut the stems off right at the top. Lay the flowers flat between paper and tuck them into a nice big fat book that you don’t plan to read anytime soon. Put that book at the bottom of a stack or set a heavy rock on top of it… and then forget about it.

Months from now, with just a piece of thread and a few spots of glue you will have some pretty snowflakes to hang on your Christmas tree, or in your holiday window.
