It’s okay though, because I can now look forward to all of the pretty colors in nature. During the summer, the trees are a bright green but come autumn, the leaves begin to fall and the ground is blanketed with beautiful, colorful leaves that crunch under your feet. It’s time to embrace this new season and make crafts that emphasize the beauty of autumn. This fall, wear leaves on your clothes, hang them in your home or incorporate them in your gifts.
You can gather leaves for a variety of projects or simply use materials such as felt, paper or leather to create your own. Be sure to include muted red, burnt oranges and soft yellows in your projects!
What’s great about fall crafts that incorporate leaves is that they can be tailored to fit all skill levels. If you have kids, use fun products like shaving cream to make your own leaves. Better yet, add some sparkle to your space with some Prized Pumpkins. This is a great opportunity to bond as a family and teach them about the changing seasons. Plus, you can display the finished project all season long.
If you need a little time to yourself, make a more complicated project such as the Apple and Pineapple Wreath. This elegant and simple home decor craft looks great on your door or hung over your mantel. Because this project utilizes spray paint and pins, it’s better if older crafters give it a whirl. If you love to hang wreath in the fall, consider any of these 19 Decorative Front Door Wreaths – it’s a great way to greet guests.
Sure, it’s sad that summer is over. The upside is that you can now change the way you look at crafts and celebrate all the great aspects of fall. Embrace the wonderful aspects of the season and add a few leaves to your next craft project.

I completely agree that it is a shame the long summer evenings have to come to an end. But these fun fall craft ideas make up for the loss. I love the wreath crafted from leaves, it would look lovely during the season.
Like you, I was feeling that fall was coming too soon and wanting more summer. But then I realized – fall! Time for lovely, hearty soup! Lingonberries or cranberries on chicken sandwiches! Apple Pie! Pumpkin Pie!
So maybe not so bad!!
Thank you so much for including the candle in this round-up! In fact it is lit right now keeping me company while i work on this year’s fall crafts!
Thanks for featuring our shaving cream painted leaves. The love of summer and sadness of it ending is what prompted us to make these leaves. Love your other features too!
Thanks so much for giving our little leaf garland some love, Julia! We’re quite flattered. 🙂
