DIY: Fall Leaves Decoration

If you enjoy collecting fall leaves, here's how you can transform them into an artwork that will decorate your home.

You’ll need:Yellow fall leaves (different sizes)Strong liquid glueWhite background (cardboard or wooden board coated with white paper)Thick brushGold paint or spray paintColorless varnish for furniture or other surfaces (to make the leaves shine and last longer)



You will need to collect leaves from two different trees, for example large maple tree leaves and some smaller ones. First let the leaves dry, putting them between the pages of a book or a notebook. Then coat each leaf with a layer of varnish using a brush. Paint the smaller leaves golden. Let the coated leaves dry well. Make a plan how to arrange the leaves on the background (note that you need to leave a little space at the top, as shown in the picture). Glue the leaves carefully. If some of the leaves are out of the bounds at the base, gently cut the ends.





Glue the golden leaves over the other leaves. Finally, write something on the white space such as “fall”.



Your fall DIY project is completed. You can place it in the living room and enjoy the warm artwork that you made yourself.
