Here is how to make a fall leaf frame. Wait – fall leaves are hard to come by in my neck of the city. So unless you are planning a trip up north soon, you’ll have to check out the floral aisle at the craft store!
Whether they are the real thing or not, fall leaves are a lovely sign that fall is finally here. So why not incorporate them into your latest craft project?
This embellished frame is a wonderful way to embrace November and all it has to offer.
Fall Leaf Frame
Supplies:
1 wood picture frame
Gold paint, brush
Assorted silk fall leaves
Scissors
Hot glue
Gold micro stars or crystals
White craft glue
Directions:
Paint the frame gold and let dry. Snip the stems from the leaves and sort the large leaves from the small. Hot glue the large ones around the front of the frame in a random but balanced fashion. Hot glue the smaller leaves to cover bare spots. Apply a tiny drop of glue on one of the leaves and place a micro star on top of it. Continue until the micro stars are evenly distributed around the leaves. Let dry. Take it outside and lightly spray on a mist of glitter. Let dry.
Variations: If you have real fall leaves, place them inside a floating frame to preserve them. Use silk leaves to adorn napkin rings, lapel pins and more.
Hot glue the leaves to the frame and embellish with sparkles. The textures go together nicely!
