Fall is the perfect season for crafting! With its vibrant colors, crisp air, and nature’s most beautiful offerings, it’s a time that inspires creativity in people of all ages. For kids, crafting is more than just a fun activity – it’s a way to explore textures, colors, and imagination.

This Crepe Paper & Leaf Sticker Fall Paint Brush craft tutorial is a simple yet engaging project that’s perfect for children. It combines the vivid hues of fall with hands-on fun to create a masterpiece worthy of hanging on the refrigerator.

Craft Supplies:

We are going to paint the colors of fall on paper! Here’s a quick checklist of what you’ll need to get started:

Directions:

Set up a crafting area where kids can work comfortably. Cover the table with a plastic tablecloth or kraft paper to keep things mess-free. Encourage your little artists to wear an apron or an old t-shirt to protect their clothes.

  • First things first, grab the free “paint brush” file {listed above in the supply list} and print it out on white cardstock paper.
  • Use your crayons to color in the brush design.
  • Now trim it out with scissors, along with the text box. Set the pieces aside for now.
  • Next up – cut or tear the crepe paper into small, irregular pieces. Aim for pieces around 2-3 inches in size. If kids are old enough, they can do the tearing themselves, which is a great way to develop fine motor skills.
  • Give each child a sheet of brown construction paper. Using glue, have them randomly place the crepe paper pieces across the page to create a colorful, textured background. Encourage overlapping pieces to add depth and vibrancy.
  • After placing the crepe paper, assist them in gluing the paintbrush cutout, making it look like the “paint” is flowing from the brush.
  • To finish the fall colors craft, lay out the leaf stickers and teach kids to place them over the crepe paper background. The goal is to mimic the look of fallen leaves scattered on the ground during autumn. Younger children may arrange the stickers randomly, while older kids might enjoy creating patterns or designs for a more polished look.
  • Now you can stop here or add any other embellishments you see fit, to give it your own personal spin!
  • Then display your fall paint brush piece proudly for ALL to see!!
