Why don’t you grab the kids and snuggle up to make a pretty Autumn Yarn Wrapped Leaf Craft? This is one of the simplest leaf craft activities and a fabulous way to capture all the wonderful colours of Autumn!
This Autumn leaf craft gives kids lots of opportunities to practise their fine motor skills while yarn wrapping.
They’ll be able to enjoy mixing and matching different yarn colours to create their own gorgeous Autumn leaf picture.
To help make this a really easy fall craft to dive right into, we’ve got 6 free printable leaf templates for you to choose from.
Yarn wrapped crafts are a great way for kids to practise fine motor skills and explore textures and patterns. We love that each end craft project is totally unique too.
Some of our other favourite yarn wrapping crafts are Yarn Wrapped Hedgehogs, Yarn Wrapped Owls, Yarn Wall Letters, Yarn Wrapped Fall Tree and Yarn Wrapped Stars.
When you’ve finished your lovely leaf art pop them on display for all to see. You could also glue them onto the front of a folded piece of cardstock to make a gorgeous autumn greeting card.

How To Make Yarn Wrapped Leaf Crafts
1 – Download and print your free printable templates. (Get yours at the bottom of this post.)
We printed ours straight onto autumn coloured cardstock but if you prefer you can print them out on plain paper cut them out and draw around them using them as a stencil.
2 – There are two leaf templates per page with six to choose from altogether. Cut your page in half and cut out the leaf shape from the middle. Be sure to leave the frame whole as you’ll be using that bit to frame your yarn wrapping.
3 – Cut a piece of white cardstock slightly smaller than your leaf frame.
4 – Enjoy yarn wrapping around your white cardstock in lots of different colours. (This is such a great fall craft idea to use up yarn scraps!)
Secure the start and end of your yarn pieces with sticky tape on the back of your white cardstock.
5 – Apply glue all around the edge of your yarn wrapping. A runny glue you can squeeze on like UHU is easiest.
6 – Lay your leaf craft frame on top of your yarn wrapping and push down gently to secure it into place.
Now you can put your leaf art on display for all to enjoy!
We hope you enjoy this autumn art idea. It’s a simple leaf activity that would work with kids of all ages.
