Materials

  • Dried autumn leaves (various shapes and sizes)
  • White cardstock or thick paper (for bodies)
  • Craft glue or glue stick
  • Pencil and scissors
  • Small paintbrush (for applying glue)
  • Optional: glitter, markers, or tiny flowers for details

Instructions

  • Sketch or print a simple fairy silhouette on white cardstock, about 10–12 cm tall works well. Cut out the figure carefully.
  • Arrange your dried leaves by size and color, choosing smaller ones for tops and larger ones for skirts or wings.
  • Gently glue the leaves onto the fairy’s body, overlapping them to create a flowing dress shape. You can also use two leaves on the back as wings.
  • Press each leaf down with your fingers for a few seconds to help it stick. Let the glue dry completely.
  • Add personal touches like leaf crowns, tiny flowers, or a touch of glitter for a magical finish.
