Yarn Lacing Fall Leaf Craft
Combine a colorful fall craft and a fun fine motor activity with our gorgeous and simple Yarn Lacing Fall Leaf Craft. Be sure to grab our Free Fall Leaves Printable, then cut the leaf shapes out of cardboard, punch holes around the edges, and lace in and around the holes with a multi-color skein of yarn.
Not only is this fall leaf yarn lacing craft a great craft for fall and a fun way to work on those developing fine motor skills, but it’s also a great starter sewing craft to get preschoolers ready to sew. The movement with the yarn is the same as a need and thread.
Cardboard Yarn Lacing Fall Leaf Craft
To make our fall leaf lacing craft you’ll need to print our fall leaves printable.
You’ll also need cardboard, we used a cereal box, as well as a multi-color skein of yarn, a single hole punch, tape, and scissors.
Yarn Lacing Leaf Craft Supplies Needed
- Fall Leaf Printable
- Multi-color skein of yarn
- Single hole punch
- Tape
- Scissors
Fall Leaf Yarn Craft Step by Step Directions
Begin by printing the leaves and cut out.
Trace the leaf shapes on cardboard.
Cut out the cardboard leaves.
Now, punch holes around the edges of the leaves.
Next, grab a skein of colorful yarn and cut a long piece. We like using the multi-color skeins, but the color of yours is up to you. Bring the beginning end of the yarn through one of the holes to the back and tape to secure.
Use another small piece of tape to wrap around the other end so that it’s easier to lace in and out of the holes without fraying.
Then, start lacing through the holes. In a hole through the back, around the edge of the leaf, and through the back of the next hole.
When we went fully around the leaf one way, we started going back around the other way.
When all the yarn is weaved through the holes, tape the final end to the back of the cardboard.
Such a fun, perfect fine motor craft for fall and they make a gorgeous decoration for the season, too.
