Lovely Leaf Crafts For Fall

By Jodie Morgan

| Last Updated:

I have fond memories of walking through fallen leaves as a child with my Grandfather. There’s something special about the fall season. This week’s craft ideas feature clever ways to use leaves.

Take a look at the Leaf Crafts. They’ll delight the young and the not-so-young crafters!

Frustrated Teacher Quits In Disgust, Sells The Farm, Moves The Family Halfway Across The World And… Starts Knitting

On My Needles

My two socks are finished!

The last part was to decrease stitches to shape the toe. To finish the socks, Kate Atherley suggests the Kitchener stitch close up the toes.

Not having done Kitchener stitch before, the demonstration in the video was not clear to me. Kate does point out that if you haven’t used Kitchener stitch before it won’t make much sense. So I went on the hunt for a good video to learn this method.

I’ve really enjoyed being a Craftsy member. Kate Atherley’s course for the 2 socks at a time has been really helpful. There are so many crafts to learn. I’ve also loved watching He Sewed She Sewed and Re:Fashion.

  1. It is no longer fall, however, these leaf projects are perfect for any time of the year. I have always been fascinated by items you can find in nature and how to make crafts from them. Thanks for all the hard work in putting this post together, it is truly appreciated. And..I can hardly wait to dive into making some of these – also maybe start a knitting project!
