To begin, draw around each leaf template on the flattened cardboard cereal box, and cut them out. Next, paint the leaves in autumnal colours and leave them to dry. Repeat a second coat if required.

Now, cut the striped pipe cleaners into smaller pieces and bend them into leg and arm shapes. Glue them to the back of each painted cardboard leaf, and leave to dry.
Finally, stick some wiggle eyes to each leaf and add a smile to each character with black pen.
First, use the templates to cut out the owl’s hair, eyes, beak and wings using different colour felt sheets.
Then, stick the felt pieces to the pinecones with glue and leave to dry.
Finally add some wiggly eyes, and allow to dry.
Your pinecone owls are now complete!
Take the first sheet of coloured paper and fold it in half. Line up the straight left hand side of the first template on the fold, and then draw around it with a pencil and cut out. Repeat with the other shapes and colours.
Next, open up the shapes and press them flat. Working from the bottom straight edge, draw and score lines horizontally across the paper shapes, 1cm apart. Then, make accordion folds along the scored lines.
Now, fold each shape in half and glue the inner folds together to form the leaves. Leave them to dry.
Finally, glue the leaves on a length of brown string and leave it to dry.
Your garland is now ready to decorate any room!
To begin, flatten your cereal box and cut it open. Place the template on the cardboard, draw around it and cut it out.
Next, paint the cardboard hedgehog shape and leave it to dry. Add a second coat of paint if necessary.
Glue the leaves to the hedgehog, and leave to dry – you may want to place a heavy book on top to help them stick.
Finally glue some wiggly eyes and a pom pom nose to the hedgehog and allow it to dry.
Your adorable hedgehogs are now complete!
First draw the outline of a face on your wooden slices with a pencil.
Next, paint the different sections of the animal face in contrasting colours, and leave them to dry. Now, use the templates to draw and cut out ear shapes in felt.
Glue them to the back of the face and leave to dry.
Add some wiggly eyes and a pom pom nose to the face and allow to dry.
If you wish to hang the decoration, attach a loop of string to the back with glue.
This is the perfect project for teenagers and the wood slice animals look so cute!
First place the tumbler on the cardboard, and draw around it. Then, place the 2p coin in the middle, and draw around it. Cut out, then repeat to make 2 ring shapes. Cut a small wedge on each.
Next, place the rings together and wind the yarn evenly around. Continue until the ring looks thick with yarn.
Using sharp scissors, carefully snip the yarn between the 2 rings all the way round – be careful not to lose any threads. Then, cut and tie a 15cm length of yarn in between the rings, pull the taut and knot to secure the threads.
Remove the card from the pom pom and tidy any messy threads with scissors – do not cut the long yarn strands.
Now, use the template to draw and cut out some green felt leaves. Glue them to the top of the pumpkin.
Finally, cut a green stripy pipe cleaner in half and wind it around a pencil to create a spiral. Use the strands of yarn at the top of the pom pom to tie it in place.
Your pom pom pumpkins are now finished and ready to be hung around the house!
