AUTUMN LEAF MOBILE
Painting on natural found materials like leaves, sticks and bark are one of our favourite activities. It's also super easy and cheap!
This time we decided to make our painted autumn leaves into a pretty mobile.
MATERIALS: Leaves, stick, yarn, paint sticks and tape.
TUTORIAL: Start decorating your leaves, we used paint sticks, they are easy to use and give great vibrant colours.
We played about with our leaves making pretty flower collages first before making our mobile. If you stuck them down they would make pretty artwork just on their own.
To make your mobile get a stick and some yarn.
We wrapped yarn around our stick to decorate it.
Tie strings to your stick and tape the leaves on, washi tape or sellotape works well.

+About Us
Mini Mad Things is created by Mum, designer and craft enthusiast,Eleanor Ford.If I had to introduce myself in one word, I would say I am a maker.I grew up in a house where we made things. We learnt to sew and to knit; to saw, hammer and build. My Mum baked bread every day and we grew vegetables. We learnt to fix broken things. We were resourceful. All of these skills made me who I am and ignited my love for craft. This passion for making is something I would like to pass on to my children and to others; it is the reason for creatingMINI MAD THINGS.As well as creating all the fun kids craft project ideas here on our blog, we also sell a range of CRAFT BOXES, BOOKS and ECO ART SUPPLIES.
