5 Creative Ways to Decorate With Fall Leaves

Whether you'd like a quick-and-easy way to display your favorites or a more creative, crafty idea that will last long-term, these tips are sure to help you celebrate the season. Even better? We've done part of the work for you by choosing beautiful product options for each project.

Frame the leaves
    If you find an especially beautiful branch or leaf, try pasting it onto a piece of paper and framing it as art. Find several that you love? Create a gallery wall with matching frames, like this Pressed Leaves Art ($18 for one). Another idea: try a gold frame, which serves as a great accent for the warm color palette of Fall foliage.

Use the leaves to hand-print decor
    Get the look of this Hand-Printed Pillow Cover ($85) by using your favorite Fall leaves. Paint a few of your favorites, then press them onto a piece of fabric to create your own botanical pillowcase.

Arrange the branches in a vase
    Skip your standard vase of fresh flowers and fill these Jayson Home Mercury Bottles ($24-$38) with gorgeous branches instead. The antique, silvered glass and the unique bottle shape will turn the natural elements into a cool, contemporary accent.

Use the foliage to top a present
    For a cool, crafty gift-wrap idea, tie a piece of colorful ribbon or brown twine around this Paper Source Small Square Craft Box ($2) and tuck a tiny leaf or branch inside the bow. Vary the look of this simple, eco-friendly gift-wrap option by pairing different types of ties with several kinds of Fall foliage.
