DIY Fall Ombre Leaves

Hello Loves!

I have a cute and super easy Fall DIY craft for you guys! Since it's getting colder out and warmer in, I have been looking for things for Bailey and I to work on together. I made the leaves but they were Bailey approved! I am currently working on an easy leaf craft for her to do on her own! I used my Cricut Explore to make these but if you don't have one then you can easily do them by hand! You can do an arrangement of three and use shadow box frames to frame them, you can hang them from a fireplace mantle or a tree branch from outside, or add them to a cute Fall gift basket for a friend! The options are endless.

I found the maple leaf pattern in Cricut images and thought it would look really cute if I made them 3D and ombre! I played with 3 different colors to see the variations but you can use whatever color scheme you like!

When purchasing cardstock, I got 5 sheets of 12X12" in various shades of each color from Hobby Lobby (It was 50% off of .79 a sheet so very inexpensive). I used various sizes of the adhesive foam tabs to give the leaves dimension.

I have attached the pdf version of the material list and instructions HERE. Also, if you just want the traceable templates to print to save on ink, click HERE!

I hope you enjoyed my first version of 3D paper art because I can promise there will be more! I am totally obsessed with making cards and paper projects because it's cheap and fun lol!

Happy Crafting!

With Love,
