4 Simple DIY Fall Decor Using Leaves
Foter

What makes fall so wonderful? The cool breezes, cozy sweaters, and, of course, the beautiful leaves. Celebrate the coming of fall with these very simple, very affordable, and very adorable DIY décor centered around the leaves.

1. Framed Leaves

What you will need: A clear glass frame and fake, or real, leaves (different sizes and colors)

All you have to do is place 3 leaves, smallest to largest, faced down into the frame in a vertical position. You can hang this on your wall or just place it on your dresser. This is my favorite DIY because it is very pretty and so easy to make.

2 Autumn Lights

What you will need: Fake leaves and fairy light

Take a leaf, fold it in half, and cut a little incision into the middle of it. Then, poke the light into the hole of the leaf. Do this into you have all of the lights in a leaf.

This looks great hanging on a wall, especially above or around a window.

3. Illuminating Leaf Candle

What you will need: Mason Jar, a fake leaf (medium to large), acrylic paint, a paintbrush, and a small candle

You should begin by attaching your leaf to the front of the jar with a piece of tape. With the color of your choosing, paint the entire jar while painting over the attached leaf. When the entire jar is painted, remove the leaf. Then, leave the jar to completely finish drying. Once the jar is dry, place the candle inside and light it. You could also tie a string of twine or a fall-themed ribbon around the opening.


4. Leaf Bowls

What you will need: A balloon, fake leaves, mod podge, scissors, a bowl (to place the balloon in) , and a sponge brush

Begin by cutting the stems off of the leaves and peeling off the veins if there are any on them. Then, blow up the balloon to your desired size and put it inside of the mixing bowl to keep it in place. With the mod podge in a cup, apply a thin layer on the top of your balloon. Lay a leaf on top of the mod podge, smooth it out with your fingers, and a apply a thin layer of mod podge on top of it. Continue this process, covering empty spaces by overlapping the leaves on top of the balloon.

Tip: How much you cover the balloon determines how much depth you bowl will have.

When the mod podge dries completely, carefully pop the balloon with a pin at the tied end to slowly let the air out. The leaves may shrink down when the balloon deflates, but it will go back to normal after a minute. Now you should have a bowl made out of leaves

Use your bowl to hold Halloween candy or just use it as a decoration.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
