Fall Leaf Cutouts

Use these templates to make all kinds of leafy fun things! They are great for teachers, parents, and autumn craft enthusiasts.

Printing Tips and Project Suggestions:

• Print pages on colored, textured, or thick card stock paper.
  
  
• Cut leaves out along black line.
  
  
• Make leaf gift tags by punching a hole in the leaf, attaching a string to it, and writing a message on the front or back.
  
  
• Make fabric leaves by pinning or taping a leaf to fabric and cutting out around it with sharp scissors.
  
  
• Make a reverse template (void leaf area) by carefully cutting the leaf out of the page and using the resulting "template" to paint or color leaves onto your canvas of choice.
  
  
• Use leaf shapes for scrapbooking or memory book embellishments.

Autumn Word Search Puzzles

If you enjoy find-a-word puzzles I challenge YOU to download and print one of these autumn word search puzzles to stretch your creative brain. Can you find all of the words without looking at the answer key? Includes Autumn, Halloween, and Thanksgiving Holiday puzzles.

Cozy Season Fall Greeting Cards

Enjoy my free greeting cards (patterned after my autumn craft projects) for your fall season "thinking of you" or gift giving fun.

Printing and Assembly Tips:

Download and print the greeting cards on glossy or thick card stock paper before cutting out. If printed on glossy paper that is too slick to write on, glue a folded layer of paper (same dimensions as card) between the outside cover to make inside pages you can write your message on.
