Make Fall Leaf Ornaments

Fall leaf ornaments are a great way to add a little fall color to your holiday decorations. This is also a great craft project for kids without a lot of mess. You can make several of these cute little fall leaf ornaments in different sizes and hang them along the mantel or from the ceiling. This craft is super simple and will make any child proud of the great artwork they were able to create.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Construction paper
Tissue paper
Spray glue
clear acetate
ribbon

Step 1

To make fall leaf ornaments you will need to first start with a sheet of construction paper. Choose a color that you would see in fall leaves like red, yellow, brown or orange. Using your imagination cut out a leaf design.
Step 2

Use your leaf to make a pattern on your clear acetate. Cut the clear acetate about a quarter of an inch smaller than the outside of your leaf pattern.
Step 3

Next to make your Fall Leaf Ornaments lightly coat the clear acetate with spray adhesive. And randomly attach your squares of tissue paper to the clear acetate. There is no really pattern to stick to here just make sure you completely cover the acetate with tissue squares. You may have to add more spray adhesive to keep the tissue paper in place.
Step 4

Once you have the leaf covered in tissue papers you will need to make sure the edges are trimmed so that none of the tissue papers are hanging over the edge of the acetate.
Step 5

Now apply glue to the tissue paper covered side of your leaf and glue it in the center of your construction paper leaf.
Step 6

Attach a small piece of ribbon to the top of the leaf in a loop for the hanger.
