Fall Leaves Window Clings

Materials:
*Dimensional fabric paint
*Cling wrap
*Tape
*Leaf templates

Directions:
*Print out leaf templates, such as the ones given below.  Alternatively, you can create your own leaf templates by collecting leaves and tracing around them, which is how I created these templates.

*Tape the leaf templates down to a flat surface, one that you will not need to use for at least 24 hours.  Tape some cling wrap over the templates, making sure that each leaf shape that you plan on using is entirely covered by the cling wrap.

*Carefully trace the outlines of the leaves using fabric paint.  Make sure to shake the fabric paint well before using.

*Draw a stem onto your leaves.

*Fill in the inside of the leaves with fabric paint.  If you're working with little ones who you think would be likely to smear the outline paint with their hands, it may be best to let the outline dry for 24 hours before they fill it in.

Apparently I forgot to take a pic of the red leaf once I'd finished filling it in, so here's the gold one.

*Let the paint dry for 24 hours and then carefully peel the paint off the cling wrap.  Now your leaf clings are ready for your window.
