Paper Strip Autumn Leaves Craft

Paper strip crafts are so much fun! They are great for practicing scissor and pattern skills. This leaf themed craft is great for a nature or autumn theme. It can make a cute craft to celebrate the fall season or a great decoration!

Materials:

• printer,
• paper,
• colourful construction paper (multiple colours),
• scissors,
• glue

Instructions:

• Print out your leaf template(s) of choice.
• Cut paper strips out of several different colours of construction paper (I used a variety of autumn and nature themed colours).
• Flip the leaf template backwards so that you are gluing paper strips onto the back of the paper.
• In a pattern or whatever order you'd like glue the colourful strips along the back of the leaf template.
• Flip the template back over and cut out the leaf.
• There are five different template options with different shapes of leaves for your autumn leaf collection!

Craft Templates:

• After printing, close the template window to return to the main page.
• If the template doesn’t fit on one page, adjust your printer margins:
  • In most browsers: Print → More settings → Margins → Minimum
  • Or use Page Setup / Printer Setup in your printer dialog
