Some may call this season autumn but we all know our favorite part is when the leaves change colors and eventually fall. Get to collecting my friends because the warm hues of red, orange and yellow on your trees make for some aesthetically pleasing home décor. The bonus is now you can finally find the motivation to rake your lawn, or just stop by Michaels for some silk leaves!
A few basic supplies to have before we get started are leaves, Modge Podge and a paintbrush.
Candle Holder
Nothing is better than filling your home with pumpkin spice, apple cinnamon or other warm autumn scents. You simply just need a mason jar in which you will slowly Modge Podge each leaf to, using a paintbrush. For added flair, wrap around straw towards the top and lastly place in your favorite scent!
Glittered Leaf Garland
This is the perfect accessory to any bare staircase rails, windowsills or doorways (depending on how trusting you are)! I would recommend silk leaves for this one, as you have to hole punch in the middle of the leaf on the stem end. Glitter the leafs with corresponding colors then attach them to a silk ribbon.
Rustic Leaf Portrait
This is the ideal gift for your fall obsessed friend *hint hint*! Buy a simple slate of wood from Michaels and recreate the shape of a leaf using many smaller leaves and Modge Podge and finally a twig to recreate the stem attached with wood glue.
Decorated Pumpkins
For all of you unlucky ones, myself included, who haven’t mastered pumpkin carving and are still shamelessly using Sharpie – STOP. This craft is as simple as buying a pumpkin, making the day out of it with friends and simply attaching leaves around the base or in your own desired design and voilà, you’ve got a pumpkin worth showing off!
Leaf Bowl
Looking for something to hold your keys in along with other random things? This brightly colored craft will make sure you never forget these items. Simple blow up a balloon and slowly start using Modge Podge to attach leaves to the wide end. Give it time to dry and cut off the excess balloon, depending on your desired size balloon.
Happy Crafting!
