Autumn is a magical time.All the nature around suddenly acquires an incredible variety of colors and shades. And what is an integral attribute of every good fairy tale? That's right - a ball! Autumn ball is one of the favorite children's holidays. Summer has already passed, and the fabulous New Year is still far away, and what better than a small performance can entertain children and show them all the delights of the mistakenly called gray season. That is why the autumn ball has always been loved by kids and not only. Every boy imagines himself a little knight protecting his gentle lady, and girls turn into real princesses. And what is a princess without a dress? It is better to start preparing to create an outfit for a girl in advance, especially if the holiday is held in November. In this case, stock up on natural material in September. To do this, just go to the park with your child and collect a variety of leaves. The wider the palette of colors and shapes of the material, the better. When you come home, carefully lay out all the collected leaves on a newspaper and leave to dry under a press. The old-fashioned method is also ideal - just place the leaves in books. When the holiday comes, you can make beautiful decorations from the material you have prepared in advance by simply organically attaching them to an old children's dress. But do not forget that it should be suitable for the autumn theme of the color scheme.If the holiday is held in September or early October, then everything is even simpler. You will need:

5 meters of fabric (it is not necessary to buy an expensive one, you can buy the cheapest one, as long as it is pleasant to the body and does not cause discomfort to the child)
2-3 bags of leaves (they can be collected slightly damp after rain or moistened with water immediately before making the dress)
glue gun

Using a gun, glue the leaves evenly onto the fabric. Don't forget to stick to the color scheme. Next we fasten the whole structure so that we get the shape of the dress. That's it, the simple outfit is ready.To make the dress more durable,You can first hang it on a mannequin and apply a layer of water-based varnish. After the first layer, check for rigidity, and if it allows, apply it again. The main thing is, do not forget that everything you do will help the child feel like a real fairy-tale princess. Such memories remain for life and even many years later the girl will be grateful to you for the magical dress!
