Create beautiful pom pom stamped leaves with just a few supplies – perfect for hanging on the wall or giving as a homemade gift.
Craft Supplies:
- LEAF Template – on our landing page
- Colored Cardstock Paper
- Craft Paint
- Small Paper Plate
- Wooden Clothespin
- Large Sized Pom Pom
- Loose Craft Glitter
- Scissors
Make It:
- First print the blank leaf template listed above in the supply list. My suggestion is on colored paper but feel free to change that up. You only need ONE print per leaf craft.
- Next grab your printable and flip it over on your working space, so the leaf design is facing the table. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!
- Now grab your clothespin and pom pom.
- Pinch the pom pom inside the wood clothespin. This is now your paint brush.
- Next squirt the various colors of craft paint on the paper plate.
- Dip the pom pom paint brush in one of the paint colors, then on the printable anywhere you like {remember – this is all being done on the back side!} Unlike our previous tutorials, this time you can really go to town on your pom pom paint design. You just want “stamps” focused mainly in the middle of the paper.
- Repeat under you have the desired look you want.
- Go ahead and also sprinkle loose craft glitter on top of the wet paint.
- When done painting, set aside the paper piece for SEVERAL hours till the paint is completely dry.
- To finish off the Pom Pom Stamped Fall Leaf craft, use scissors to trim out the design. Since you did the stamping on the back side of it, you will be able to flip over the paper and just follow the clean lines to cut out the leaf shape.
- And that’s it! I added smiley faces to my finished piece but you can of course skip that step.
- Now display your pieces proudly for all to see!
- BTW – you can easily swap out the pom pom stamping step for PUFFY PAINT instead! Just follow our recipe and add it on top of the cardstock paper instead!
