How to bookmark veins at home?

Preparation materials: leaves with obvious veins (laurel leaves are used here), pots, edible alkali, toothbrushes, water, books, paper towels and colored pens.

1. Osmanthus fragrans is tall, with wide leaves and looks flat, which is the best material for making bookmarks. The number of leaves that need bookmarks for picking. I suggest a little more. There may be waste at first.

Second, put all the prepared osmanthus leaves into the pot and add edible alkali, about 80g.

Third, pour in water and start cooking.

4. After heating for about 15 minutes, gently stir with chopsticks to separate mesophyll and make it corrode evenly.

5. When the leaves change color and the mesophyll is brittle, take the leaves out with chopsticks, put them on a smooth desktop or tile, and gently brush the front and back of the leaves with an old toothbrush to brush off the soft parts of the leaves, exposing white veins.

6. Rinse gently with running water and repeat for many times until all mesophyll is removed.

Seven, use old books or old newspapers to dry the veins.

Eight, carefully color with highlighter, no highlighter can be used to color with watercolor paint.

Nine, complete the map.
