Jumping into a pile of crunchy fall leaves is one of the time-honored traditions of fall. Bring the fall fun with you with these adorable crunchy crinkle leaves. This step by step pattern and tutorial will take you through the creation of the cutest trio of crunchy felt leaves you’ve ever had the pleasure of cavorting with.
You will need:
9″ x 12″ felt sheet for each of the leaves I used Lemongrass, Orange Juice and Poinsettia*
Black felt scrap for eyes*
Pink felt scrap for cheeks I used Paris Pink *
*matching thread
Cut:
Two of each of the leaf shapes, 6 eye shapes and 6 cheek shapes.
Cut the crinkle material into a rectangle slightly larger than your leaf.
Stitch the crinkle to one side of each leaf-shaped as marked in grey on the template. A running stitch or a back stitch works well for this project for more on stitches see THIS POST.
Trim crinkle. Set aside.
Sew face to mirroring side of lead shape using matching thread and a running stitch. Stitch smile with black thread.
Sew face side to vein side using an overcast stitch.
Stop By the Shop:
Print at full size. 
Happy Crafting!
