Burlap Leaf Bird On Tree Branch Craft Idea
I’ve shared TONS of craft ideas using inexpensive decor leaves on Glued To My Crafts in the past and I’m already gearing up to share even MORE crafty ideas of ways to incorporate them into your fall craft plans this year {stay tuned!}
Anyways… back to the tutorial’s tutorial! Today’s Creative Leaf Birds is no different than my ideas before! These feathered friends with a fall theme, are just as simple to recreate, inexpensive and fun for all ages!!! Even adults will LOVE making their own version of a bird from a simple, plastic leaf.
Best part of all? I’ve even included a FREE TREE BRANCH PRINTABLE to get you started even faster.
From there, there are no real rules when it comes to recreating this bird on branch craft. I’ve provided you a blank canvas, so it’s your turn to take the inspiration from me and make it happen!

DIRECTIONS:
- To create this Paper and Plastic Leaf Birds craft, simply have children glue their decorative leaf to the center of the tree branch printable {if you can’t print our file, go ahead and hand draw a tree branch design on your paper, instead!}
- While they are working on that, I want YOU to lay out the various embellishments on the table, that you want them to decorate their bird with. Like I mentioned above – you are just supplying the blank canvas and opening up the gates of creativity.
- Children can add legs made out of markers, make a triangle nose out of scrap paper and they can even go the extra mile & add ten wiggle eyes to their bird if they want. Your child will make the masterpiece “FLY” I’m sure!
- When they are done decorating their bird, simply set aside the entire paper to let it dry completely before you display it proudly for all to see!
