Looking for ideas for creative leaf crafts for fall? Here are seven easy and simple leaf projects you can make in under an hour.

This morning I walked outside and gasped.

It wasn’t hot.

It wasn’t humid.

It was cool and light and airy.

And as I watched, a leaf drifted to the ground.

Sigh.

My favorite season.

My favorite day.

My favorite minute.

You know.

That moment that you realize that fall in Texas is just around the corner. And so today in the middle of September, I want to celebrate with a few fall leaf projects. Next week I can’t wait to take you on a little tour and show you all the decorating I’ve been working on.

Here are 7 creative leaf projects for fall.

Seven Creative Leaf Crafts For Fall

1. Dyed burlap painted leaf pillow

These burlap pillows had seen better days.

They were damaged and a little sad and worn and pitiful.

Some people might have tossed them. But why? When you can dye them and paint them.

See the entire DIY project here.

2. DIY Book page leaf wreath

The only thing cuter than a fall wreath is a fall wreath made from stuff you have just laying around the house. You don’t need a penny to make this wreath.

Just a few book pages and a wreath form.

You can see the entire DIY here (and a cost-free solution if you don’t have a wreath form).

3. Duct Tape Leaf Runner

The twins and I made this project together back when they thought about braces instead of boys.

It’s a fun project for a family craft night or a Thanksgiving table.

This runner is made from duct tape and cleans up so easily.

You can see the entire DIY here.

4. Decorating with paper leaves

I’ve decorated with book pages in so many different ways that I just grouped them all together here. There are so many ideas. Here are just a few of my favorites:

• Attach them to the side of a hutch with double-stick tape
• Decorate your mantel by scattering them
• Add a paper leaf to the top of a wood pumpkin
• Make a “falling leaf” tree with branches and craft paper leaves

5. Framed leaf project

I found these frames at Target and used them to turn leaves into art.

All you need is five minutes and a little yard shopping.

6. Felted leaf garland

Just when you thought that fall couldn’t get any cuter?

I just shared this leaf garland this week, but I wanted it to have a place here in the leaf craft round-up.

In case you missed it? This is a one-supply craft.

You can see the DIY here.

7. Scrapbook leaf pumpkin

And this blue and white pumpkin project is even easier.

All you need is a little scrapbook paper and some paint.

You can see the five-minute DIY here.

Fall decorating.

It’s here.

Just like cooler days and crisp mornings and sweater weather and hot chocolate with mini marshmallows.

And I couldn’t be happier. 🙂 

PS These technically aren’t leaves, but this was one of my most popular projects last year.
