The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

 

Materials Needed:

Instructions:
Start out by staining or painting your plaque however you like. Let it dry. Add a hanger on the back of the plaque if you would like to hang it up.

Gather some colorful leaves. You can either use real leaves or store-bought leaves. Brush a thin coat of glue over each leaf and cover it with glitter. Let the glue dry and then sprinkle off any extra glitter.

Glue the leaves around the edges of the plaque. You can now hang the plaque on the wall or a door.
