Free Leaf Templates Printables for Autumn Craft Projects

| | | |

Time to share another free printable template – our free leaf template printables. These leaf templates were created for my book a few years ago – in which I used them to make a simple but gorgeous little Paper Plate Leaf Wreath (more info below). I decided this was a resource you should have access to too, so created a set of Leaf templates to print. These leaf templates printables have three shapes loosely based on the oak leaf, the maple leaf and a generic leaf. They also come in 3 different sizes for different paper leaf crafts and art projects. You may also want to grab our Free Apple Templates in 4 sizes.
