Autumn leaf wreath

Why not spend the morning outside collecting autumn leaves and then come inside for a 'crafternoon.'  Try making this easy autumn leaf wreath with your kids.  Just watch our Autumn craft video tutorial below.

What you need:

• autumn leaves in different colours and sizes
• 1 x paper plate
• strong craft glue (or a hot glue gun works best if you  have one)
• 50cm or so of ribbon
• scissors

Activity:

Here's how to make an autumn leaf wreath.

Start by cutting the centre out of your paper plate. Do this by folding it in half and then cutting a 5-8cm border.

Now just glue on your leaves. It looks best if you overlap them and use lots of different colours.

When you've covered the rim in leaves, add some ribbon: a bow at the bottom and some bits of ribbon all the way around the circle will provide the ideal finishing touches to your wreath.

Hang it on your front door to signal that autumn has begun!
