Leaf Sewing Project

Introduction

Leaf sewing is such a great activity to introduce kiddos to sewing. It is also a fun activity for little ones who are still working on their fine motor skills! Join us for this easy activity :)

Materials needed:

• Darn Good Yarn Twist Sport Weight Silk Yarn
• An assortment of different sized leaves 
• Laminator* 
• Laminating sheets*
• Hole puncher
• Scissors

*Note: If you do not have a laminating machine you can still do this project. Simply just hole punch un-laminated leaves

Step 1: Gather Materials

Step 2: Laminate Leaves

Place leaves in a laminating sheet. I was able to fit three leaves in one sheet. Depending on the size of the leaves you chose, you may be able to fit more! Then put sheet through your laminator

Step 3: Cut Leaves Out of Sheet

Step 4: Punch Holes

Now, take your hole puncher and start punching holes onto your leaf. You can create and follow any design you’d like!

Step 5: Cut Yarn to Proper Length

Grab your Darn Good Yarn and scissors, cut about 24” or so of yarn. I used the Lilac Twist Sport Weight Silk Darn Good Yarn

Step 6: Start Yarn Threading

Put the yarn through whichever hole you would like to start at, and tie a knot

Step 7: Weave

Weave yarn in and out through the holes until they are all sewn.

Step 8: Finishing

Lastly, tie a knot and cut off the excess yarn. Wallah! You now have an assortment of beautiful decorated leaves
