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:

• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
• Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
