Question 1: How to make a simple leaf bookmark. If it is not easy to break, you must follow the steps. Just use alkali blocks, leaves, and fine-bristle toothbrushes. The above method is relatively simple. 1. Pick the leaves back. 2. Boil the leaves and alkali blocks together for a while. 3. After the leaves are cooked, take them out and gently scrape off the green on the surface with a fine-bristled toothbrush. 4. Only a transparent leaf will remain. 5. Finally Just put it in a ventilated place (not too sunny) to dry. Let me briefly introduce the structure of the leaves: The surface of the leaves is surrounded by a layer of epidermal cells, which has the function of protecting the leaves. Inside the epidermis are some mesophyll tissues containing chloroplasts that can carry out photosynthesis. Running through the mesophyll tissues are veins composed of conductive tissue and mechanical tissue. Leaf vein bookmarks are made by removing the epidermis and mesophyll tissue and only making them from the leaf veins. You can see on the bookmark that a thicker leaf vein in the middle is called the main vein. The main vein branches out into many smaller branches called side veins; the side veins branch out into smaller branches called veinlets. This is divided again and again, and finally the entire leaf vein system is connected into a network structure. Dye this network of leaf veins into various colors and tie it with a ribbon to make a beautiful leaf vein bookmark. Now let’s introduce the whole process of making leaf vein bookmarks: leathery leaves are usually used, such as leaves of osmanthus trees and leaves of beech plants. The leaves collected should be of appropriate size and should not be damaged. The leaves should be older and should not be too tender. After harvesting the leaves, place them in a beaker (as shown in Figure 1), add 10 to 15% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (until the leaves are submerged), heat and boil for 10 to 15 minutes (as shown in Figure 2), take it out, and place it flat on a plastic gauze. , rinse with tap water (Figure 3). The epidermis and mesophyll tissue of the leaves dispersed after the above treatment, and were washed away with tap water, leaving behind the reticular veins. After the leaf veins are rinsed, pick them up and lay them flat on absorbent paper, press them dry and flatten them, and then put them in a dye vat for dyeing. It can be dyed with a variety of dyes (Figure 4). Red ink and blue ink are also good for dyeing. Dye for 1 to 2 hours, take it out, lay it flat on absorbent paper, press it flat and dry. After taking it out, tie a colored ribbon at the base of the thick leaf veins to create a leaf vein bookmark.
Question 2: How to use leaves to quickly make bookmarks. First, put the leaves in a thicker book (the thicker, the better). After about a week, it will dry. At this time, it will be very hungry. It's crispy, you have to carefully stick it to the paper, cut out along the edges, make a hole, tie it with a string, and draw some patterns, and it's done! That’s what I do!
Give some points for typing it yourself! ! ! !
Once done, you can put it in the book.
Question 3: How to quickly make a leaf bookmark... just put it in a book and over time it will become that kind of bookmark. How to quickly make a leaf vein bookmark? You need to seal more collected leaves in plastic to prevent them from spoiling. I have made many of them myself
Question 4: How to make leaf bookmarks in the fastest, best and most convenient way? 5-point leaf vein bookmark making method :
The mesophyll will rot when it encounters corrosive liquids. When heated, it will rot faster. The leaf veins are tough and not easily corroded. Therefore, some plant leaves with hard leaves and tough veins can be made into vein bookmarks.
Tools and materials: Beaker, tripod, asbestos net, alcohol lamp, matches, scale, old toothbrush, tweezers, watercolor paint, colored silk thread, sodium hydroxide, 3% hydrogen peroxide, osmanthus plant leaves.
Production process:
1. Put about 100 ml of water into the beaker, add 4 grams of sodium hydroxide to the water, place the beaker on the asbestos mesh, heat it with an alcohol lamp, and boil the solution.
2. Immerse the plant leaves in the solution, continue to heat for about 15 minutes, and stir gently with tweezers to separate the mesophyll and etch evenly.
3. When the leaves change color and the mesophyll becomes crispy, use tweezers to remove the leaves and place them in a glass filled with water.
4. Take the leaves out of the water, place them on the glass, use an old toothbrush to gently brush the front and back of the leaves in running water, and remove the soft parts of the leaves to reveal the white veins. Soak the leaf veins in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 24 hours to turn them into pure white. Then take out the leaves, wash them with clean water, and drain off the water droplets.
5. Place the leaf vein pieces in old books or newspapers and press them to dry.
6. Take out the flattened leaf veins. After the veins are completely dry, use a brush to apply watercolor paint on both sides of the veins. After it dries slightly, flatten again.
7. Take out the painted leaf veins and tie a colored silk thread on its petiole to get an exquisite and beautiful leaf vein bookmark.
Explanation and extension:
1. In addition to osmanthus plant leaves, coral plant leaves can also be used to make vein bookmarks.
2. When heating, the beaker must be placed on the asbestos net. If heated directly, the beaker will break due to uneven heating.
3. The used liquid medicine can be stored in an empty container for reuse next time. Generally, the liquid medicine can be recycled 4 to 5 times.
4. If there are too many leaves to be processed, you can change to a larger beaker, and the water and sodium hydroxide should be mixed at a ratio of 100:8.
Another method:
Vein bookmarking is to select leaves with beautiful leaf shapes, remove the mesophyll part after chemical treatment, and retain the intact leaf veins
, a bookmark made after dyeing. Making leaf vein bookmarks can be a way for laid-off workers and wealthy rural laborers to make money.
Production method:
1. Select the leaves. Choose leaves with thick, dense veins. Generally, evergreen woody plants are preferred. Such as osmanthus
Mosaic leaves, heather leaves, papaya leaves, eucalyptus leaves, tea leaves, etc. Select leaves in late summer or autumn when the leaves are fully mature and begin to age.
2. Boil the leaves with lye. Alkali solution configuration: Calculated based on 1 liter of water, 70 grams of sodium carbonate (soda), 50 grams of sodium hydroxide (the above two types of medicines and chemicals are available in stores), lime water can also be used instead of alkali liquid, boil the prepared alkali solution in an enamel cup or
clay pot, then add an appropriate amount of washed leaves, boil, and gently stir the leaves with chopsticks
to prevent the leaves from collapsing Laminate so that it heats evenly. Boil for about 5 minutes. When the leaves turn black, pick out a leaf and put it into a plastic basin filled with clean water. Check whether the mesophyll is corroded or easy to peel off. If it is easy to separate, take out all the leaves, put them into a plastic basin filled with clean water, and then separate the mesophyll and leaf veins one by one.
3. Remove the mesophyll. Place the boiled leaves on the palm of your hand or on a glass plate, and gently rub the smooth surface of the leaf with an old toothbrush handle. The corroded leaf flesh can be wiped off, and then place it under the tap. Rinse and continue scrubbing
until all the leaf flesh is removed.
4. Bleaching leaf veins. Bleaching the cleaned leaf veins in a bleaching powder solution, take them out, rinse them with clean water
and then sandwich them in old books and newspapers. After absorbing the water, take them out and you can use them as leaf vein bookmarks.
5. Dyeing, drawing, and writing. Use red, blue ink or other dyes to dye it into your favorite color.
You can also draw and write on it, and finally tie it with silk thread.

You can also draw and write on it, and finally tie it with silk thread.
Question 6: Illustration of how to DIY leaf bookmarks. The leaves must be hard. In summer, soak the leaves in water and dry them in the sun. Wait for water to rot. The veins will appear in half a month. What comes out is light yellow. It still looks better with coloring.
Materials:
1. Leaves. Generally, evergreen woody plants are preferred. Such as osmanthus leaves, heather leaves, papaya leaves, eucalyptus leaves, tea leaves, magnolia leaves, etc.
2. Sodium hydroxide. 3. Anhydrous sodium carbonate. 4. Beaker. 5. Iron platform. 6. Alcohol lamp. 7. An old toothbrush with soft bristles. 8. Glass plate (pad when brushing leaf veins)
The leaves selected for bookmarks must meet two major requirements:
1. The leaf veins are reticular veins. Transverse veins such as ginkgo leaves and needle-shaped leaves such as pine needles are not desirable.
2. The leaf veins should be clear and complete to ensure that the leaf veins will not be corroded together with the mesophyll, and also reduce the incidence of leaf veins being brushed off when removing the mesophyll.
Quick production method
1. Select the blade. Choose leaves with thick, dense veins. Select leaves in late summer or autumn when the leaves are fully mature and begin to age.
2. Boil the leaves with 10% sodium hydroxide solution. Boil the prepared alkali solution in a stainless steel pot or iron pot, add an appropriate amount of washed leaves, and boil. At this time, use a glass rod or tweezers to gently turn the leaves to prevent them from overlapping and heat them evenly. (The window should be closed for ventilation, because there is a smell when boiling the leaves)
3. Boil for about 5 minutes. When the leaves turn black, take a leaf and put it into a plastic basin filled with clean water. Carefully wash with clean water. (Note: Do not pick and place the leaves directly with your hands during this operation to prevent sodium hydroxide from corroding the surface of your hands. Use tweezers or clips to pick and place the leaves.)
4. Rinse the remaining alkali solution on the leaves. Take out the leaves, lay them flat on a piece of glass, use a small test tube brush or an old toothbrush with soft bristles to gently brush off the rotten mesophyll on both sides of the leaves in the direction of the leaf veins. While brushing, rinse with a small flow of tap water until only Leave the veins behind.
5. Soak the leaf veins in hydrogen peroxide for 24 hours to achieve the bleaching effect. Brush the clean leaf veins, rinse and place them on a glass sheet to dry. When it is dry to semi-dry and semi-wet state, apply various dyes required, then sandwich it in old books and newspapers, absorb the water and take it out, and it can be used as a leaf vein bookmark. After drying, use red or blue ink or other dyes to dye it into your favorite color, and then tie a colored silk ribbon on the petiole to make a leaf vein bookmark with clear veins, bright color, beautiful appearance and practicality.
.2. Soaking in water method If the above-mentioned medicines or props are not available, the simplest method of soaking in water can be used. The method is very simple, that is, soak the leaves in water for one to two weeks to let them rot naturally, and then use a discarded toothbrush to clean the rotten leaf meat along the direction of the leaf veins to make a beautiful leaf vein bookmark. If you want to speed up the process, you can add some alkaline toiletries to the water (it seems that a suitable temperature needs to be maintained during soaking to allow bacteria to multiply. Try to avoid hot weather. Anyway, the weather is too hot, so I have never successfully soaked.). Dyeing the prepared leaf vein bookmarks with color and then taking them to a photo studio for plastic molding will make the bookmarks more exquisite and suitable for use as bookmarks and as gifts to relatives and friends. Although the gift is small, it is also very popular.
Question 7: How to make leaf bookmarks? I can tell you from personal experience that this does not require any chemicals. When I was in elementary school, I clamped the leaf in the textbook, and it is still a complete maple leaf? The veins are also very clear, just a little thin, but very beautiful
Question 8: How to quickly make leaf vein bookmarks. First, choose your favorite leaf, put it into the prepared alkaline water, and heat it on the fire. Determine the heating time according to the size of the fire until the mesophyll completely falls off, then use tweezers to take out the leaves that have taken off the mesophyll, and remove the remaining leaf juice on the leaves.
Second, place the blade on the table, lay it flat, and press the glass plate on it. It is best to choose a sunny place so that the leaves can dry easily.
Third, when the leaves are dry and flat, remove the glass plate.
Fourth, outline. Use a colored pen to add the pattern you like.
Fifth, cut it into the row shape you like and tie a colored thread on the petiole. Just like this, a leaf bookmark is ready. An ordinary leaf can turn into an exquisite bookmark.
Question 9: How to make a "leaf bookmark" First, I will post a picture of my finished product this time: (This is a night scene picture) 100% natural and completely handmade! There are many bookmarks on the market, but I have rarely seen anyone selling leaf bookmarks. It may be that the production process is too complicated, the labor cost is high, and the market demand is low, so it is not cost-effective. It may also be that there are too few people who know the production method. But it doesn’t matter, now I will tell you how to make it, you can also easily make a unique leaf meridian bookmark, a good thing for home travel, gifts and friends! In fact, this method is not original to me. I still remember that the politics teacher in junior high school told us how to make it when she rewarded the students with two leaf bookmarks she made. However, I later did it three times in one session and improved a lot on the original method. Let’s give a brief summary first. In fact, the method is very simple and original. Materials needed: magnolia leaves, water (yes! just tap water will do!), pot or bucket. Time taken: ten to twenty days. (If you don’t count the time you spend looking for magnolia leaves.) Process: 1. Wash the selected magnolia leaves and put them into a basin (or bucket); 2. Fill the basin (or bucket) with water, at least Spread over the leaves; 3. Wait for the leaves to rot, which takes about ten days; 4. After the mesophyll rots, take out the leaves and gently scrape the mesophyll with your fingers (or a soft brush); 5. Rinse the leaves with clean water and hang Let it dry (or press it with paper); 6. DIY leaf meridian bookmarks are produced! Of course, this is just a general process. There are many details to pay attention to in actual operation. If these details are not handled well, it is very likely that all your previous efforts will be wasted or you will suffer (I will explain this below). First of all, it is the choice of leaves. Magnolia leaves are preferred. This is the magnolia tree: there are many common trees among us, but not every tree’s leaves can be made into meridian bookmarks as shown in the opening picture, at least not with my purely natural, additive-free method. But it is said that if you use some chemicals, such as sodium hydroxide or formaldehyde, it should be possible, but I have not tried this method. In the South, magnolia trees are always common. On both sides of the road are: Generally speaking, the leaves of magnolia trees are the best. I first made this bookmark when I was in junior high school. I was at an age where I liked to question things around me, so I didn’t believe that only magnolia leaves could do it, so I picked many other types of leaves together for experiments, such as banyan leaves, kapok leaves, canna leaves, and banana leaves (I really picked them Banana leaves, but I picked the smallest ones) and others that I have forgotten. In short, I picked all the leaves that I could see around me that had some similarities with magnolia leaves and tried them. As a result, after soaking in water together with the magnolia leaves for more than ten days, the magnolia leaves lost their shape, while the other leaves were still lush and green, as if they had just been put in. At this point, only after personal experience did I give up and no longer have hope for other leaves. But after all, I experimented with leaves that are common in the south. I don’t know if other varieties of leaves in the north will work. If friends from the north are diligent and ask questions, you might as well try it for me, or you can make me give up completely. In addition, there is one more thing to pay special attention to. , not all leaves can be made into bookmarks using this simple method, and not all magnolia leaves can be made into bookmarks.
Question 10: How to make leaf bookmarks. How to make leaf vein bookmarks
1. Select the leaves. Choose leaves with thick, dense veins. Generally, evergreen woody plants are preferred. Such as osmanthus
Mosaic leaves, heather leaves, papaya leaves, eucalyptus leaves, tea leaves, etc. Select leaves in late summer or autumn when the leaves are fully mature and begin to age.
2. Boil the leaves with lye. Alkali solution configuration: Calculated based on 1 liter of water, 70 grams of sodium carbonate (soda), 50 grams of sodium hydroxide (the above two types of medicines and chemicals are available in stores), lime water can also be used instead of alkali liquid, boil the prepared alkali solution in an enamel cup or
clay pot, then add an appropriate amount of washed leaves, boil, and gently stir the leaves with chopsticks
to prevent the leaves from collapsing Laminate so that it heats evenly. Boil for about 5 minutes. When the leaves turn black, pick out a leaf and put it into a plastic basin filled with clean water. Check whether the mesophyll is corroded or easy to peel off. If it is easy to separate, take out all the leaves, put them into a plastic basin filled with clean water, and then separate the mesophyll and leaf veins one by one.
3. Remove the mesophyll. Place the boiled leaves on the palm of your hand or on a glass plate, and gently rub the smooth surface of the leaf with an old toothbrush handle. The corroded leaf flesh can be wiped off, and then place it under the faucet. Rinse and continue scrubbing
until all the leaf flesh is removed.
4. Bleaching leaf veins. Bleaching the cleaned leaf veins in a bleaching powder solution, remove them, rinse them with clean water
and then clamp them in old books and newspapers. After absorbing the water, take them out and you can use them as leaf vein bookmarks.
5. Dyeing, drawing, and writing. Use red or blue ink or other dyes to dye it in your favorite color. You can also draw or write on it, and finally tie it with silk thread.
But it is more complicated and requires a lot of materials, so this is what I did.
