The Halloween stuff is starting to hit the shelves in various stores already, so it seems only natural that it’s time to get ready for sharing even more “bewitching” fun craft ideas on Glued To My Crafts. My creative juices are flowing, so stay tuned for TONS of new and fresh ideas!
Till then – I’m starting the “spooky” fun with today’s Leaf Witches kid craft tutorial! It all started with a package of inexpensive decorative, plastic leaves from Dollar Tree!
With this simple DIY craft activity for Halloween, you and your child can conjure up a wicked good time that is sure to be remembered for years to come! You can even continue the fun by taking it from the craft table to the living room for some fun pretend puppet play!
It’s super easy, really inexpensive and fun for ALL ages! Just cast a spell with some decorative plastic leaves, colored cardstock and a little imagination to bring this spirited design to life!
Happy crafting this upcoming SPOOK-TACULAR holiday, my friends! You can find all the details for this witch made out of leaves craft idea below.
Please don’t forget to share pictures of your one-of-a-kind autumn witches on our Facebook page! I wanna see how you give each one her own spin! #gluedtomycrafts
Leaf Witches Craft Supplies:
* Decorative Plastic Leaves {Dollar Tree – one per witch craft}
* Various Sheets of Colored Cardstock
* Kid Friendly Paper Scissors
* School Glue or Glue Stick

optional – loose craft glitter, rhinestones, Halloween stickers etc.
Directions:
* To start – grab one decorative leaf and ALL your embellishments.
* Go to town and simply decorate it {the witches body} with cardstock “witch” pieces. I did a circular green head, a black witch hat, green/black striped stick legs and black witch boots. You can of course change this up as you see fit!
* Once done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!!!
* Repeat over and over again & make a whole bunch of leaf witch friends to hang out together!
* Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished leaf witches with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts
* For puppet play – hot glue a jumbo popsicle stick to the back of the finished leaf witch.
