fall crafts with the girls


We've been making lots of tree/leaf crafts. We made these awesome paper bag trees by Amanda of Crafts by Amanda (via Pinterest).



We made these thumbprint trees using a template from Style Unveiled (via Pinterest).


We made tons of leaf prints like the one above (K thought they were the absolute most fun to make) from Kleas (via Pinterest).


We created this little tree using a branch from our ugly dying bushes, and coffee filter leaves (we used food coloring instead of water coloring as suggested in the instructions) with an idea from The Crafty Crow (via Pinterest).





And finally we made these dragonfly silhouettes based on an idea in my brain (via my hands).
