leaf mask with free mask download

 A fun Autumn tradition for us is making masks of pressed leaves. 

fauna leaf mask

You need:

pressed leaves- use leaves that have been pressed for about 24-48  hours, they are still quite flexible at this stage and lay nicely

glue solution- 2 parts glue, 1 part water (or use Modge Podge)

Download the mask onto card-stock

crayons

scissors

hole punch and yarn for the masks that tie around the head

glue gun and a stick for the type of mask you hold

*Cut out the mask, color, and glue on the leaves.

Fauna’s mask (top photo) is a made of scarlet maple leaves with a stick hot glued to the back for her to hold the mask in front of her face. Araina chose to make a chihuahua mask (hmmm, looks like an owl to me, but she insists it is not).

Preserve the masks by covering the leaves with the  glue solution or Modge Podge.

    Oh oh I could so have done with that stunning mask yesterday for the little one’s halloween outfit. The maple leaves are such an amazing colour! What a beautiful idea. I have downloaded the mask template, thank you so much for sharing. Will try out some other variations – we have hundreds of leaves left in our basket!
    Lovely to have discovered you on Autumn Crafty thanks to RedTedArt!

  7. I love the masks ~ they look great. Thanks for another great idea for autumn!!!

  8. what a great idea! I’ve been looking for some fall projects to do with my 2 year old, and she would get the biggest kick out of a leaf mask!

    I love these! I have been modgepodging some leaves but didn’t quite know what to do with them yet! Fauna’s mask is stunning! She looks like a forest faerie, indeed! And Araina’s chihuahua mask is too cute! I can’t stop smiling!
    Looks like you are enjoying autumn!
    Have a great weekend!

    I love these. What a wonderful idea. We’ll have to try some!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog lately. It’s nice to have a new friend!

  14. Those are really cool! The red leaves are so bright and beautiful! I agree, I thought the other mask looked like an owl. It was a clever use of the different shaped leaves.
