Autumn Mobile Craft

In Autumn comes a sense of shadow, of breeze.

It's not my most favourite season, but it does bring a sense of urgency to suck the life out of every sunny day that is left before Winter approaches. 

In Autumn, my children are intrigued with the colour changes, the quantity of leaves sprawled across the ground, waiting to be kicked about, with gumboots on.

In Autumn I need to find renewed life to get to the gym, breath in that fresh air and be motivated.

I avoid leaving the house and leave my slippers on.

But there is always time for craft.

I got some great inspiration recently from a Sunday Magazine to make an Autumn Mobile.




The best thing about this activity was it was three activities within itself. 

Day one, saw us 'collecting autumn leaves'

Day two, saw Lulu paint all the leaves with PVC glue to give them a gloss finish.  She left them lying on a sheet of paper to dry overnight.

Day three, saw Lulu thread the leaves using some embroidery thread and tie them to her twig.





So now we have a little bit of Autumn love in our home.


Cheers


Mandy.

  1. I think this looks brilliant and I laughed out loud at "but it does bring a sense of urgency to suck the life out of every sunny day that is left before Winter approaches." GOLD!
