DIY Autumn Leaf Confetti

Materials

  • Variety of fall leaves
  • Hole punch
  • Paper plate
  • Small bowl

Instructions

  • Go out on a nature walk and collect a variety of fall leaves. Fresh leaves will work best, but you don't want them to be wet either. Let them dry enough so that they are easy to press the hole punch through without cracking or crumbling on you.
  • Use the hole punch to punch holes into the leaves.
  • Empty the hole punch into the small bowl. You’ll want to empty the hole punch regularly so that it doesn’t get too full or jammed up.
  • Continue punching holes in leaves until you get the desired amount of confetti.
  • You can dry your confetti in a variety of ways. First, place them inside a jar and place a small silica gel pack inside the jar with the leaf confetti to help them dry out.
  • Alternatively, you can let them sit out on a cookie sheet or inside a brown paper bag until they are dry.
  • You can also put them in a fridge to help retain some of the color of the leaves for a longer time.
