Leaf Mask

 

A fun Autumn tradition for us is making masks of pressed leaves.

 

pressed leaves- use leaves that have been pressed for about 24-48  hours, they are still quite flexible at this stage and lay nicely

glue solution- 2 parts glue, 1 part water (or use Modge Podge)

crayons

scissors

hole punch and yarn for the masks that tie around the head

glue gun and a stick for the type of mask you hold

card stock

 

Trace a mask shape onto card stock.  Cut out the mask, color, and glue on the leaves.  Preserve the masks by covering the leaves with the  glue solution or Modge Podge.
