Autumn Leaf Butterfly

 

Once the leaves start to change colour, it's the perfect time to create some natural art such as this lovely autumn leaf butterfly. The great thing about this craft is that you don't need to buy anything at all! Simply collect autumnal leaves on a walk and use them to create a piece of beautiful art work.

Instructions

Use a long leaf to create the butterfly's body. We used a hole puncher to create the butterfly's eyes. 

Try to find leaves that are a similar size to each other. When you find two, put them on either side of the butterfly's body to create wings. Keep doing this until you have created almost symmetrical wings.
