Natural Fall Leaf Collages {FREE Printable Included}

By thisreadingmama 6 Comments

Natural Fall Leaf Collages {Free Printable Included} | This Reading MamaMaybe it’s the beautiful color collage of fall leaves visible everywhere you look. Maybe it’s the smell of pumpkin spice. But there’s just something about fall that screams, “Craft time!” Every year, we make place mats from the leaves in our yard. But this year, I wanted to do something else. So we made natural fall leaf collages!

First, we collected leaves from our yard. {Okay, if truth be told, I collected most of the leaves, as the day I had planned to do this craft, it was rainy and dreary outside…not at all like our typical fall days.}
