SEPTEMBER'S READER APPRECIATION GIVEAWAY

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!

FALL LEAVES IN GLASS FRAMES- A beautiful and easy way to display fall leaves in 10 minutes

Here’s what you will need to make these pretty falling leaves!

  • 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?

  1. Love the colorful leaves framed and your shortcuts. I have a question. How do the leaves retain their bright colors?I have had leaves turn brown when exposed to air. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

  3. 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!

  14. 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.

  15. Great little project to do with my granddaughter! We like to craft together. She’s only 6 and already quite artistic.

  19. Thanks for the great idea, Yvonne. I just found your blog through In My Own Style, and have just subscribed. šŸ™‚

  20. 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!

  26. 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.

  27. 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.

  28. I would not have imagined putting dried leaves between glass, however, this is a great idea. Thank you for sharing.

  29. Well… It doesn’t get much easier than that !!! lol… thanks for sharing this sweet DIY !!! The leaves are beautiful !

  37. 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.

  49. 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.

  50. Yvonne, I wish I could decorate like you. You have given me so many just simple ideas for this Fall. Thank you

  55. I love your idea with the glass frames but since I live in the southwest I guess I’ll have to use faux leaves!

    Reply

  58. 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.

    Reply

  63. 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!

    Reply

  64. What an easy, peasy idea, yet so stunning. You could also use a clear glass brick. Even I can do this and look creative.

    Reply

  66. 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!

  67. 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!

  72. 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!

  77. 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!

    Reply

  78. 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

    Reply

  80. How pretty! Great idea. I was trying to decide if it was too early for pinecones. If you can do it …. I will too!

    Reply

  85. 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!??
