Using your leaf cookie cutters press into the clay. Be sure to use cookie cutters that have a design in the center of them so they create an impression when pressed into the clay. Then remove the cookie cutter and the excess clay around the cookie cutters. That’s it! Kids will love helping you press the cookie cutters in and painting these will be fun too! We hope you enjoy the finished pieces. Feel free to choose any colors or cookie cutters too – the options are endless! And if you’re looking for another fun project to do with these cookie cutters – see our fall potato stamps we made with similar cookie cutters. Thomas Edison would love our leaf removal breakthrough. Leaf blowers would not impress him. Why? They:

GXM-300– 33mm (1”) flush threaded access casing inside corrugated tubing for applications where high settlement is expected. The corrugated pipe de-couples the access casing from the surrounding ground and the couplers act as magnetic targets. GXM-100 – comprises of a series of 3 or 6 leaf spider magnetic targets positioned on the outside of 33mm (1”) or 42mm (1¼”) flush jointed access casing.In soft ground applications, a ratio (by weight) of 6.6 water : 1 cement : 0.4 Bentonite is a good option which will provide a 28 day compressive strength of about 25kPa It is very important that each target is labelled and given a unique identification. Where 6 leaf spiders are used the pull ropes should also be labelled. Greetings everyone! It’s Kim from The Best Ideas for Kids and I’m excited to be sharing with you today these beautiful fall clay magnets. Fall is my favorite season – especially when the leaves start changing colour. But not only that, fall brings on the start of a new school year, fun activities like going to the pumpkin patch and then looking forward to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! So today I’m sharing with you how to make these pretty air-dry clay fridge magnets. You won’t believe how easy they are to make. Kids will love helping or creating these on their own! And the best part about them is they look great on the fridge and will bring some fall décor to your kitchen.

Used which extend into the fill area by up to 2 metres thus providing a more representative sample of the fill material. This was our second time working with air dry clay and we were so impressed with how easy it was to work with and the quality crafts you can create. If you’re looking to do another craft while you create these magnets, see our easy leaf bowls. We had enough clay to make both the magnets and the dishes and even some clay left over to spare. DIY Clay Leaf Magnets – MATERIALS NEEDED we like to buy air – dry clay in bulk (great for Apple Pinch Pots and stunning Leaf Bowls too!) e.g. – Recommended where settlement is expected to exceed 2-3%. Typically, this could occur at interface zones, typically between soft ground materials and fill material. Where these are used only 6 leaf spiders can be installedGXM-200– 3 or 6 leaf spider magnetic targets positioned on the outside of a flush jointed inclinometer casing. Edison advised, “There's a way to do it better—find it.” We did; we created a way to remove leaves from lawns without an engine or motor that is so efficient it can outperform leaf blowers, sweepers, and even tractors pulling powered lawn vacuums. We can do it without pollution, dust, vibration, or noise: our method is quieter than raking. Noise isn't just an annoyance: researchers found that it adversely affects physical and mental health as well as increasing the risk of dementia. Blow everything on lawns, not only leaves, including mold, bacteria, roundworms ( nematodes), animal urine and feces, decaying bodies of dead insects and animals, pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals, allergens such as plant pollen, dust from tire wear, brake-lining dust, particulate matter, volcanic ash, erionite and other fibrous zeolites, other mineral dusts, soil and everything in it, such as heavy metals (e.g., lead and cadmium). That junk and more is stirred into plumes contaminating users and others: once airborne, it spreads throughout your neighborhood: through screens of open windows into homes, onto picnic tables, gardens, and into eyes, noses, lungs, ears, and onto clothing, causing or contributing to a number of problems affecting appearance, health, mood, and brainpower. GXM-200C –for large fill projects such as earth fill dams where cross arm magnetic targets are used which extend into the fill area by up to 2 metres thus providing a more representative sample of the fill material. For borehole installations the magnetic targets are located in position by means of leaf spring legs attached to the targets which are known as “Spider Magnets” and are available in either three or six leaf versions.

Today, I like to welcome Kim from The Best Ideas for Kids who is sharing a gorgoeus DIY Clay Leaf Magnet craft with us today. Not only do we LOVE to work with clay (we have many great easy clay projects for kids here), but these make stunning Autumn decorations, great little gifts for kids to make or would also be brilliant for decorating the Thanksgiving table (then let your guests each take one home at the end of their visit..). Over to Kim! In a hard clay a ratio (by weight) of 2.5 water: 1 cement : 0.3 Bentonite is a good option which provides a 28 day compressive strength of about 690kPa. have no risk of impeller explosions, which, although rare in leaf blowers and vacuums, are potentially devastating For both the manual and automated systems Magnetic Extensometers are supplied in various configurations of the access casing, spider, plate and datum magnets to suit varying installation environments and techniques. The ones supplied by Geosense are listed in the table below:are virtually silent (the primary noise generated comes not from the machine but a slight sound from leaves as the Leaf Magnet™ gathers them) GXM-200PT– 6 leaf spider magnetic targets positioned on the outside of a flush jointed inclinometer casing together with telescopic joints to accommodate higher settlements than the GXM200. do not require use of hearing protection that (along with noise from leaf blowers or vacuums) can mask perception of sound relevant to safety, such as from animals or traffic GXM-100T– 6 leaf spider magnetic targets positioned on the outside of 33mm (1”) flush jointed access casing together with telescopic joints to accommodate higher settlements than the GXM100 If it is not possible to have the datum magnet in stable ground, it is VITAL that the top of the access tube should be surveyed each time the instrument is read.
