Spooky Leaf Ghosts
Take a nature walk to gather fallen autumn leaves of various shapes and sizes for this eco-friendly craft. Once you have a collection of sturdy leaves, paint them entirely white with acrylic or poster paint. Once the paint has dried, use a fine-tip black marker to draw different ghostly expressions on the leaves—some happy, some spooky, and some surprised. Because every leaf has a unique shape, your collection of ghosts will have distinct personalities. You can string them together on a piece of twine to create a beautiful, rustic autumn garland for your mantle.
