Fall Craft for $1

As I mentioned before, I've been reading a few blogs lately and I came across a great fall craft. Here is a link to the blog: Wayward Girls Crafts. I headed out the the Dollar Tree and bought 2 bags of 50 leaves, so technically, I spent $2, but you could totally buy one bag and have enough...all depends how many you want to make!

Materials Needed:

• leaves
• shoe box cover or similiar "canvas" (I used a piece of cardboard cut the size I wanted.)
• hot glue gun
• pop can tab

I put Andy down for his nap, got out the hot glue gun and the girls and I got started. We each laid out the leaves how we wanted them, and then I put the glue on the "canvas" and the girls put down the leaves where they wanted them. When completed, I hot glued a pop tab to the back to use as a hook on the back of the cardboard "canvas," and old trick I leaved from VCBC!

It maybe took 15 minutes for each to finish their project and it was fun to work together on a non-messy craft  that doubles as a fall decoration that we can keep for years to come. I made a couple also and Em made another one for her room.

Finished product on the wall!
