  Tissue paper fall leaf crafts are simple projects for children of all ages. Leaf crafts can be made with tissue paper alone or a combination of tissue paper and real fall leaves. These crafts can be made into interesting designs and given away as gifts or added to scrap books.
  
  

Fall Leaves

• Tissue paper fall leaves are colorful celebrations of the fall harvest. The materials needed are scissors, leaf patterns, tacky glue and card stock along with several colors of tissue paper such as green, orange, red and yellow.
  
  To make this craft cut the tissue paper into tiny 2-inch squares. Cut out several colors so you can blend them together on one leaf. Then you crinkle each piece into small balls. The last step is to glue down each ball until you fill the entire leaf pattern. Combine several colors together for the most visually appealing look.
  
  

Leaf Window Art

• Tissue paper is transparent and some real leaves have transparency as well. The materials needed are colored tissue paper, scissors and tape. To create leaf window art, you will need to trace real leaves from outdoors or use a leaf stencil. Trace the leaves with tissue paper and then cut them out.
  
  Once you have several colors you can tape them on a window. As the sun shines in, the colors from the tissue paper will beam through creating a spectrum of color like a rainbow. You can also modify this craft and use both tissue paper and real leaves. Use a large sheet of tissue paper and tape real leaves on top. Tape this on a window. This modification will create colors and leaf shadows on the window as the sun shines in. You can also use these leaves to decorate scrap books, cards and other items.
  
  

Leaf Rubbing Craft

• The leaf rubbing craft highlights the details of the leaves such as the shape and tiny features like veins. Each and every leaf is unique. This craft is simple, but it does fall into the fall tissue paper leaf category. The materials needed are white tissue paper and crayons.
  
  To make this craft you will need to gather real fall leaves from outdoors. Place the leaves under the issue paper and color over the leaves. The shape and details of the leaf will be clear on the tissue paper. Once you have traced the leaves you can cut them out and glue them on cards and envelopes as decorations.
