We are keeping the FALL THEMED crafts fresh this year on Glued To My Crafts and today we are adding this Craft Stick Leaf Holding Fox craft tutorial to the website archives!
I just hope you love it as much as I do and are inspired to recreate some of your own foxy friends for the autumn season, with your child today! #gluedtomycrafts
Orange Fox Puppet Made With Craft Sticks
Fall will be fast approaching soon and I hope you love ALL the crafty goodness that I have planned and will be adding to our website soon. Till then – I’m kick-starting the fun with today’s Popsicle Stick Leaf Holding Fox tutorial that just “might” be the ONE for you to recreate with your child this season. My hope is that you bookmark {or PIN!} this particular post right now!
Now imagine yourself pulling together the BEST art project for your child today. This very leaf holding fox post.
It’s got my favorite craft medium {jumbo popsicle sticks} and that warm fall feel. It’s honestly perfect for the season we are heading into {especially since August is nearly over!}
My favorite part? The fact that these craft stick fox creations are holding a small decorative leaf in their clothespin “hands.” I mean – hello?! It doesn’t get any cuter than that!
Now what are you waiting for?! You can find all the crafty details below and recreate it with your child today. Maybe even make it your mission to change up the colors and/or change up the decorative piece each fox is holding. You could place a paper cutout of a pumpkin in the center or maybe even a small note for someone to read. So many possibilities on this one! I hope you run with it!
Just one last note – I highly suggest this craft for the older children in your home since a glue gun is involved. Other than that – this fox craft tutorial is super easy, just like ALL the tutorials you can find on Glued To My Crafts right now!
Happy crafting, my friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your leaf holding fox pieces with us! Find us on Facebook or use our branded hashtag #gluedtomycrafts for us to see!
