leaf mask with free mask download
A fun Autumn tradition for us is making masks of pressed leaves.
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.

Myself mask making and I researching about Mask and found your website and one picture with red leaves which real awesome. Thank you for share.
Great idea, and beautiful mask.
I use your beautiful pic on my site, if you don’t mind.
God bless you and your family!
I have been trying to think of a halloween costume for weeks and now I know what to be! Owls are my favorite and I’m going to press some extra leaves for a mask.
I love the masks ~ they look great. Thanks for another great idea for autumn!!!
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 JUST LOVE LOVE LOVE! This little project. I am gonna use this for some journaling projects I am working on for Christmas.
Those are so beautiful!! How special~
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!

Love this idea! We’re doing this one.
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!
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.
Oooh, a mysterious leaf fairy has come to visit!
How beautiful
Wow, Gorgeous! Impressive!
Very beautiful! Nice tradition
beautiful! What a fun idea, thank you for sharing!
This is a cool craft. You can become little woodland elves!
Neat idea! I’ve never seen this done with real leaves before. Your kids did a beautiful job!
We are all over this! Thank you!
How perfect! I adore this post! Never would have thought to do that myself. You’re such a wealth of information on fun things to do and I appreciate you sharing it with us. xxoo
