Maple Leaf Mobile
This maple leaf mobile is an excellent Canada Day craft for
kids, who will enjoy cutting out and assembling the maple leaf shapes from
our template.
You will need:
Red card
White glue
White ribbon
Red glitter (optional)
Maple
leaf template
Using our printable template, cut three large and six
small maple leaves out of red card. To add a bit of sparkle you can
cover one side of each of the smaller leaves with glue and sprinkle with
glitter. Leave to dry.
Cut 4 lengths of white ribbon, each about 8 inches long.
Take one of the large maple leaves and cover one side in
glue. Stick a piece of ribbon to the top point of the leaf. Stick two
more pieces of ribbon hanging down, one either side of the leaf stem.
Fold the other two large leaves in half. Lay them side by side so they
form the shape of a maple leaf and glue them over the top of the first
leaf.
Glue a piece of ribbon hanging down from one of the two
open maple leaf sides. Glue the last two sides of the large maple leaves
together so they form a circle.
Finally glue a small leaf to the end of one of the pieces
of ribbon that hang down. Stick another leaf back to back with the
first, sandwiching the ribbon between them. Repeat with the final two
pieces of ribbon.
