And don’t forget to leave a comment…
The leaves in our area are still pretty green, but I was able to find a few early fallen leaves! I could walk for hours picking up leaves. Sorta like picking up shells at the beach!
Here’s what you will need to make these pretty falling leaves!
- 3 picture frames I got mine here…Kiera Grace City Float Picture Frame, 4 by 6-Inch, Black with Silver Accent
. This frame came with a pretty brushed silver mat.
. This frame came with a pretty brushed silver mat.- fall leaves pressed in a book for a day or two. If you live in an area that does not have pretty leaves use artificial.
- clear Tacky glue
Just to clarify…. you do not have to buy more glass. Just the one piece of glass that comes with the frame.
Glue the leaves to the FRONT OF THE GLASS. They look like they are behind glass because they are so flat. I achieved this by putting the leaves in a big book and putting something heavy on top of it for a day. You can also iron leaves flat but make sure you have something like a light cotton t-shirt on top of them so you don’t burn them!
How easy is that?
The frames are displayed on my open shelves this fall.
Now, it’s your turn! What leaves will you be hunting for to fill your frames?
Enjoy the 10 MINUTE DECORATING ideas…
Thank you for all the fabulous inspiration for Fall! I look forward to opening your emails every single day!! : )
Yvonne, you have been my saving grace. I have been known for being a good decorator, but I had lost it, until I met you. You have given me back my love of my home and wanting to make it warm and welcoming. My spirit is back and I thank you!
Looking so forward to fall. Thank you for all the great ideas.
This is beautiful! I love all of the frames together!
How lovely. Thanks for the great inspiration.
How do you think of these projects!?!
I love that you share beautiful crafts that just about anyone can do. Your leaves behind glass are lovely!
Thank you!
Easy and lovely! What could be better?
Love the leaves – makes me appreciate how clever and creative you always are.
Thanks for this stunning, doable idea! Can’t wait to try it.
Beautiful and so easy!
Neat idea. You could also do a floral display for each season!
I LOVE the simplicity of this idea! I’m totally in love with fall and fall decorating and I want to do everything, but I live in a very small house with few places for all of the beautiful diy’s. This beautiful, simple idea takes so little space…it’s perfect! Thank you for this and all of the wonderful ideas you share.
Great little project to do with my granddaughter! We like to craft together. She’s only 6 and already quite artistic.
I LOVE this idea! You are the BEST!!!
Clever and easy and pretty and cheap! What’s not to like?
LOVE this idea – can’t wait to try it!!
Thanks for the great idea, Yvonne. I just found your blog through In My Own Style, and have just subscribed. š
Hi Marilyn, Welcome to the StoneGable family!!! So glad you found me.
Great pieces ~ and so easily & quickly done!
This reminded me that I have two double glass frames from years ago, displaying fern fronds ~ I might change those to Fall leaves.
Love the way you gave us an inexpensive idea for a bit of Fall inspiration. I might paint the leaves very lightly in grey, white, beige, pale brown, for that softer look for now!
brilliant, beautiful, and just the sort of natural accent i would never tire of seeing in a home! xox
I love the fall leaves in the frames I want to do that for this fall. Just a beautiful look.
so simple, yet really pretty! thank you!
I love this idea! You come up with the best ideas!
Beautiful and easy fall project. Thank you.
You make decorating a home look so simple. Look this project….not only simple and inexpensive but so colorful. It’s always wonderful to have nature in your home.
How clever of you to make such beautiful Fall decoration. Love simplicity along with beauty.
Is still quite warm here in western CO, never know when Fall might decide to arrive but am making things so will be ready when it does arrive. Am looking forward to cooler temps, be able to have windows and doors open for Fall breezes, not soon enuf for me. Get tired of having to keep curtains closed, doors closed to keep house cool.
Great 10 minute project.
I would not have imagined putting dried leaves between glass, however, this is a great idea. Thank you for sharing.
Well… It doesn’t get much easier than that !!! lol… thanks for sharing this sweet DIY !!! The leaves are beautiful !
I can do 10 minutes…thank you!
Something NEW for FALL! I would never have thought of this idea. Great idea***
Love this idea, wish the leaves would turn to fall colors so i can do this.
Yvonne,
What a fun project! And it’s so affordable too! You are the BEST!
Happy day friend!

Stunning! Thanks for an easy, low cost project.
Love the white pumpkin with the orange foliage, and I also like the contrast of the colors, green and natural wood in the pic with the Imperial School Crayon box.!
Very Cool
I agree with Theresa. A great project to do with the grandchildren. Perhaps a craft/favor for my granddaughter’s October birthday. Mom will be thrilled as well. Thank you.
Add me to the “Love” list above! Wow and how easy to use something that is free!
This is a project my granddaughter can do this weekend. Thanks for the idea Yvonne,your the best!
I love the simplistic beauty in this idea. Seems to match any dƩcor style!
Oh this is just gorgeous! So simple yet has a huge impact, so pretty!

FALLbulous idea! You rock, Yvonne.
SUCH a beautiful idea Yvonne!!!
What a great, simple fall decor idea! Thanks for sharing. š
Lovely! I pinned this and also some of the other 10 minute ideas.
I LOVE my pinning friends!!!! Thanks so so much!
I love the bright fall colors of the leaves and the other punches of color as well. Great job.
Love this idea! Thank you for a creative, yet simple, Fall diy!
Loving these fresh and easy ideas for fall decorating. Looking forward to trying quite a few. Hugs, Dorinda
I love this idea. I will need to wait a bit longer for colorful fall leaves, but this is on my to do list. I was also thinking feathers might be another option if one was looking for a neutral palette.
Feathers would be so pretty too!
Yvonne, I wish I could decorate like you. You have given me so many just simple ideas for this Fall. Thank you
Beautiful leaf display!
Great idea. Rustic, yet pretty. Love it. Thank you for sharing these great ideas.
Beautiful! I love that idea!
Thanks for the idea,so great.
I love your idea with the glass frames but since I live in the southwest I guess I’ll have to use faux leaves!
Beautiful Yvonne! Now I have something else to do with all those leaves I can’t help but pick up as I walk my dog. Thx!
Beautiful Yvonne….nature’s beauty in a wonderful simplistic form.
I love fall leaves! These are lovely simple decor pieces. I have some large fig leaves pressed in a glass frame that I picked when my Mom and I would walk together right before she moved to Heaven at 93. I love them.
What a beautiful remembrance of your mom!
FRAME ordered. Leaf hunt to begin… THANK YOU… quick-simple-fun-pretty !! ?LInda
I am seeing wooden beads on many blogs. Where can I find them?
So pretty!! Thank you for putting all this together!!
Thank you for displaying God’s beauty of Fall in such a creative way for the home!
Love it but like a reader above I am confused. Are the leaves pressed between layers and if so where did you get the second glass? If they are not pressed I assume I can “touch” the leaves when framed. I really want to do this!
What an easy, peasy idea, yet so stunning. You could also use a clear glass brick. Even I can do this and look creative.
This is a NEET idea !
Hi Yvonne,
The leaves are very pretty. It will be striking in your home with all the white! Just to clarify, are the leaves glued on the front of the glass, so you could actually touch them?
I look forward to your blogs. Always inspiring! Thanks!
Yes, the leaves are glued to the outside of the frame. The flatter you can get the leaves the better.
Love those frames. It is a great vertical idea for open shelves and I definitely will look for them. My grandson and I like to take walks in the fall and we will pick up leaves!
Love it! Simple yet elegant!
Love it! Simple and beautiful!
Love it!
Love the fall floating leaves – a project I must try!!
Love your framed fall leaves – what a great idea!! Thanks for sharing – it was also fun looking at the other ideas for fall. Have a great Wednesday!
Simply cute!
Faux leaves have such stunning colors, too, and no mold spots! Even the $1 store ones!
Can’t wait for the falling leaves, love this great new idea!
Thank you Mam!
Simply beautiful!
What a great idea!!!
What a perfect way to display the beauty of fall leaves! I will definitely be trying this when our leaves start to turn. Thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful! They make such a statement! Just to be clear…the leaves are on the outside of the frame….or am I missing something in the directions? Thanks
The leaves ARE on the outside of the frame. Easy peasy!
Thank you the quick, doable idea!
How pretty! Great idea. I was trying to decide if it was too early for pinecones. If you can do it …. I will too!
No, it’s the perfect time to add them to your decor!
Love this idea of framing leaves! Love those glass frames- so pretty! Happy Fall friend!
Just love to see you here, dear friend!
Yvonne, this is such a pretty display! Thanks for the DIY! Pam @ Everyday Living
Thanks for the new fresh way to incorporate leaves into autumn vignettes.
So easy amd really pretty. Thanks for the idea!
What a clever idea with fall leaves. It is simple but makes such a statement, something a bit different for fall decor. I knew there was a reason I couldn’t part with that box of frames in the basement! Once again, thanks for a great idea!??
Well, this diy will be free! I love that!
