Ghostly Leaves {Kid Craft}

Don’t be spooked by our Ghostly Leaves kid craft tutorial! It’s super easy, made with inexpensive materials AND it’s a great way to bring the great outsides, INSIDE!

I’m loving all these fall/Halloween crafts Lil Man and I have been doing lately. The creative juices are just overflowing lately! {I seriously love this time of year!} And of course – whenever I go to a craft store {or my new favorite place – Dollar Tree} I’m finding the best supplies for our crafts.

Recently I found these cloth-like leaves at Dollar Tree and they just so happen to be perfect for today’s craft titled Ghostly Leaves.

Yes you can use real leaves from outside {I encourage you actually} but I wanted to keep one of these for my scrapbook, so the store bought material was ideal. Plus with the weather turning in most places {we already have had snow in Wyoming} I wanted to show a great alternative.

So if you are ready to make these “ghostly” leaves with your little one – let’s grab our supplies and find all the crafty details below! Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

Ghostly Leaves Craft Supplies:
* Large Plastic Decorative Leaves

* Black Colored Cardstock
* Circle Punches and/or Basic Craft Scissors

Directions:
* Along with some white paint, lay a single leaf on a paper plate.

* Out of cardstock, cut/punch out eyes and a mouth for your ghost. Glue onto the front of the leaf.

You can also do this idea on black cardstock and using WHITE TULIP Puffy Paint instead! {affiliate link}
