Halloween is just around the corner, and nature provides us with the perfect craft material for creative Halloween costumes. And you don't need much for that: A beautiful large autumn leaf can be quickly transformed into an enchanting fox mask - ideal for little Halloween fans who prefer it sweet to scary. On your next walk, keep an eye out for beautiful, large autumn leaves. In just a few steps, you can conjure up a cute fox mask.
Have fun making it and of course... Happy Halloween!

This is what you need:

  • Large, colorful autumn leaves large enough to cover your face
  • Wax crayons in black, white and brown
  • Marker pen in white and black
  • Scissors

Here's how to make your Leaf Halloween Mask:

  1. Painting contours: Taking great care so that the leaf doesn't tear, use the wax crayons to draw the shadows of the fox's features. These include the eyes, eyebrows, ears and nose as well as the whiskers.
  2. Cut out the eyes: Carefully cut out the eyes.
  3. Paint the fine details: Again, being careful, use the white marker to paint the shadows around the mouth, ears and eyebrows to make them stand out more. Then trace the edge of the eye and the nose with the black pen. Let your creativity run wild and decorate with as many details as you would like!
