But what can you make out of autumn leaves? Here are a few ideas that require only leaves and a little imagination

Autumn Leaf Buntings:

Leaf buntings are a fun and easy way to add an autumn touch to your home. Here's how to make your own:

  1. Gather some leaves from your yard or a nearby park. Please make sure they're dry and free of debris.

  2. Cut out long, thin strips of fabric in fall colors like orange, yellow, and red.

  3. Tie the fabric strips around each leaf's center, leaving enough length on either side to tie the leaf onto something.

  5. Enjoy your handiwork as the leaves rustle in the autumn breeze!

Glitter Leaves:

  2. Next, apply a thin layer of glue to the front of each leaf. You can use white glue or clear glue.

  3. Then, sprinkle glitter onto the glued areas of the leaves. Be sure to use fine glitter for the best results.
