Leaves Galore!

Welcome!

Vintage magazine cover, Autumn 1912

I hope you are not tired of gorgeous Fall leaves yet.

I seem to have more to share with you.

😁

I found more leaf crafting on Pinterest,

and would love to share with you.

Taking dried leaves, these artists have stitched,

crocheted, drawn, painted, cut and doodled their art.

What to do with these decorated leaves?

*Frame 1, 3 or more and hang in a grouping.
*Tie embroidery thread around the stem 
and hang several in a sunny window.
*Drag out your Christmas tree and decorate it 
with all natural ornaments like these leaves,
pine cones, acorns and nuts, etc.
Or
*Make a wreath, as Landeelu.com has done here:

Let’s take a leaf break,

fire up the printer and print out some Fall

Jumping Jacks!

Use one of your decorated leaves as her body!

If you Google or Pinterest search there are many tutorials out there to show you how to string her together 

to turn her into a jumping jack.

Fun!

Here is a jointed Leaf paper doll for you 

to print, cut and join together.

 I like to use brads, but you can also use jump rings, wire or string.

I do have more to share, but I have decided to make my blog posts more ‘bite-size’ than ‘book-size’.

So give me some feedback already!

😁

‘Til next time,
