It’s refreshing to celebrate the changing of seasons with new decorations. I have been making different versions of fall leaves every year and this muted color palette is my personal favorite. Add your own style by choosing a mixture of colors and textures that inspire you. Then find new ways to use the leaves throughout your home— perhaps strung together into a garland on the mantle or tucked into a napkin for a place setting.

Step 8
For painted leaves, brush shades of paint onto paper. Let dry before shaping and folding.
Tip: For our painted leaves, we cut shapes from craft paper and added the color with paint. Gold or other metallic colors add a beautiful sheen and texture to the finished look.
