DIY Leafy Fall Greetings

Fall is in full swing here! With the first cool temps of fall now under our belts, we can move into full fall festival mode. I pretty much love everything about this time of year – hot apple cider, changing leaves, fires, camping, and sooo much more! I could not let this go by without some official notice!

This is the perfect fall craft, and you can incorporate it any way you want! Make a timeline for a deployed loved one (just add twine and hang), include in boxes for friends, or mail to grandparents…the list could go on and on! We created these to hand out to our neighbors, and it made for a fun afternoon!

Supplies:

Directions:

  1. Print off template.
  2. Cut out template.
  3. Trace template on fun/fall paper.
  4. Cut out colorful leaf.
  5. Write fall greeting leaving room for candy.
  6. Glue candy down onto leaf.
  7. Allow to dry.
  8. Deliver some fall fun!

Super easy right?? I used construction paper I already had at the house, and the candy was left over from my last chocolate binge session. There are tons of cute papers in the stores now, and you can create so many different patterns and shapes with these! We choose colorful leaves to celebrate the changing of the seasons!
