Leaf Bookmark

Fall is coming and with the change in the weather, the cooler nights,
calmer days, I'm inspired to create crafts with fall colors.
Try making a leaf bookmark with your kids after school. The project is really easy and can
be completed very quickly.

Draw the shapes of 3 leaves, on a 4 1/2 inch by 8 inch piece of paper.
Have them fold the paper in half, lengthwise. Cut the rectangle out.
Color in the leaves in orange, red, grey or greens. Outline the leaves with a black felt tip pen.
Glue the inside together. Press and smooth out with your fingers. Coat the
colored part of the bookmark with modpodge glue. Allow to dry 20 minutes.
Enjoy!
