Hi there, folks! I’m so excited to be sharing a fun fall craft with you today at Simple as That, and I want to say a huge thanks to Rebecca for having me by for a visit!
-
Canvas (I found mine—which is 10”X14”—at Target on clearance for $3, and it was already cute, but I didn’t really have anything in my décor to match its Asian flair, so I decided to repaint it). You could easily use poster board or wrap cardboard in fabric. Feel free to be creative with your background
-
Brushes
-
Craft paint (both of these are assuming that you’re starting with a canvas that you want to paint)
-
Straight pins
-
Fabric scraps (I chose two patterns and two solids)
-
Glue (I used a combo of hot glue and Elmer’s, though only the hot glue made it in my “ingredients” pic)
-
Puffy paint (this is for writing your family names on your leaves and could just as easily be a felt tip marker or fabric marker)
-
Trunk/leaves template. You can, of course, make your own, or you can click here for my PDF template if you like what I’ve done.
