Hello everyone! Today I have selected eight different craft ideas using autumn (or ‘fall’, as we say here in the US) leaves – one of the best and most beautiful free crafting materials around. Enjoy!

1 – Isn’t this mask amazing?! 5 Orange Potatoes shares how they did it and a mask pattern to print out.
2 - This plaque at Ordinary Life Magic is a great way to preserve autumnal memories – try making one for every season.
3 – I love the gorgeous results of this combination of leaf rubbings and crayon wax resist at Our World My World.
4 - These pretty leaf votives at School In Our Home are easy to do and make a lovely gift as well. Check your local thrift shop for inexpensive glass containers.
5 - Go for a nature walk and collect some sticks and leaves to make this fun craft at This Little Project.
6 - Lori Joy Smith shares a different version of the fall-leaves-in-wax-paper idea – make it into a little book!
7 - Color Color Color shows you how to make a fall tree with items from your recycling bin. (Link to come)
8 - I think these leaf puppets are so cute at The Toddler Blog. Older kids could write a simple fall play to entertain the younger kids.

What a fantastic resource! At last one site that brings together some unique and yet achieveable ideas. Perfect for home, perfect for playgroup. Tomorrow we will be searching the local op shop for some kitchen tins for a banging wall then home to make some dandelion pictures.
