Craft Supplies:

Before you start, gather all the materials you’ll need. This includes:

  • Hand-Held Office Stapler
  • Large Burlap Leaves

  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Loose Craft Glitter
  • optional materials – small bows, stickers

Directions: 

  • First things first – take some cardstock paper and cut out a circular head and another smaller circle for the “bun” of the fairy. Adhere those together.
  • Use markers or paint to draw on a face on the cardstock piece.
  • Add the wiggle eyes for the fairy to see. Set aside.
  • Grab the burlap leaf and craft paint. Paint or color in the “dress” of the fairy in the center of the leaf {use our picture for example of where} This step is great to do on top of a large paper plate, so the paint doesn’t get all over and on your working area. Once done, set it aside to let it dry.
  • Add glitter on top of the wet paint if desired.
  • Now get the glue gun hot and ready.
  • Staple your cardstock head to the leaf cutout.
  • Now hot glue the leaf piece to a single popsicle stick.
  • Add other embellishments you see fit and will complete your craft.
  • Once done, set it all aside to let it dry completely before playing with your autumn leaf fairies proudly!
