Making our Own Fall Leaves: Coffee Filter and Glue Gun Style
We've been busy making more fall around here. This time we cut the leaves out of coffee filters, and drew on lines with a glue gun. Then I let the girls use watercolor paints to decorate the leaves. It made for a pretty effect!

Do you think that would that work just using a white crayon to draw the lines?

hmmm, good question. Maybe we'll give it a try and report back later!
This is very cool! I like the texture the glue creates, too!
It IS pretty. I never would have thought that could be so effective.
I found you on Pinterest! I love this activity!
Very cool! We just made coffee filter butterflies last night. Looks like I should have bought coffee filters at the store today lol
These are beautiful! Love the glue gun idea....you could use puffy paint too! Does the glue peel off and leave white veins?
I used regular school glue and it still worked well! Thanks for the idea!
Such a great use for coffee filters! I'll be featuring this on The Crafty Crow :)
What a fun craft! I'm going to do this with my son this week. Thank you!
Wow, those are really, really pretty! I would love to link to your how-to if you didn't mind!
Love it! I think I'll be doing this with my son.
I featured this project in my craft/diy blog in "Inspired by Watercolor" post. (It should be posted today, if not, it'll be up tomorrow)
