How To Save Fall Leaf in a Creative Way – Craft Idea
Here is the BEFORE image of art & now we will create a beautiful AFTER image of art.
You will need these supplies:
Packing card sheet
Scissors or cutter
Transparent glue or hot glue gun
Green acrylic paint and applicator
Rhinestones or beads
Wool or any decorative thread
Most probably you will find these supplies already with you. Because there is nothing exclusive here, very random thingies.
First of all with the help of a sharp paper cutter, I cut a thick card sheet (which is used for packing usually) in a frame shape.
Then I paint it in green color with acrylic paints. I am using a foam brush applicator here.
Let it dry for few minutes now.
Carefully paste the leaf with any transparent glue, I used here hot glue gun.
I found these matching color sticky rhinestones in my crafty stash, so I decided to use them on the frame.
For covering the hot glue spots, I fix a big rhinestone on top.
I use red wool thread for making it as a hanging. Simply knot it and hang! by the way, it’s the same red wool leftover which I used in making wool wrapped earrings last month.
Looks well?? Okay let’s hang somewhere else! isn’t it a fun craft idea for saving any pretty fall leaf in a Creative Way?
I paste a cute little felt fabric tag with the actual date when I found this leaf in the backyard.
The birdcage hanging is the same which I used for organizing my instagram Polaroid prints hanging.
It’s ready now! What do you think about this fun craft idea? Here is a collage of its making for you, so you can re-post and share this DIY on your social media networks. Pin it and feel free to share :)
