Crafts from leaves: create a magical atmosphere of enchanting autumn with your own hands

Beautiful, stylish, original decor can transform even a simple, laconic interior and add a special atmosphere. This is not surprising, because such objects play a much more important role than many imagine. Therefore, today we suggest trying to make unusual crafts from leaves with your own hands.

Garland of leaves

The fall season is ideal for making beautiful, fragrant garlands with your own hands. With their help, you can not only decorate the room, but also fill it with a pleasant smell.

To work, you will need the following:

• autumn leaves;
• oranges
• cinnamon sticks;
• rope;
• scissors;
• oven;
• nails
• hammer.

Before collecting the composition, you need to prepare the leaves. To do this, put them between the pages of the book and dry in this way for several days. It’s best to put a few more on top of the book so that the leaves are more even as a result.

In the meantime, we begin to prepare the oranges. We cut them into rather thin slices, as shown in the photo.

Put all the slices on the wire rack.

We put the grate in the oven, preheated to 80˚ no less than an hour. We recommend that you look at the condition of the orange slices every 30 minutes to make them dry enough.

We take out the grate from the oven and leave the slices to cool.

Cut the necessary piece of rope based on the desired size of the garland. Keep in mind that in the process you have to make knots, so there should be a small margin of length.

At one end of the rope we tie a strong double knot.

We take a few leaves and make a small hole in the center. Carefully thread the rope through it so as not to tear them.

On the other hand, we tie a small knot for fixation and continue to add the following leaves and orange slices.

In the same way we add two cinnamon sticks, wrap them with a rope and fix with a knot.

The order of adding all these details can be absolutely any.

When all the elements of the garland are assembled, we tie the second end of the rope with a double knot.

We fix two nails on the wall to attach a garland of leaves.

Such a product will not only become an excellent decor in the room, but also fill it with a wonderful aroma.

Autumn composition with a garland

If you like cozy evenings with a plaid, cocoa and a good movie, then be sure to make such a composition. She will give even more comfort and fill the room with a pleasant, warm light.

Such materials will be needed:

• garland;
• Balloons;
• a needle or a toothpick;
• oil;
• brushes;
• leaves;
• basket;
• Bowl;
• scissors;
• PVA glue;
• twine.

To start, we inflate the balls based on how large the balls should be for the composition.

We cover the surface of the ball with oil so that the rope does not stick to it.

Pour PVA glue into a small bowl.

We cut the string into equal segments, based on the number of balls.

Dip the twine into the glue so that it is completely saturated with it. If necessary, you can add a little more glue.

Wrap each ball with a piece of string in an arbitrary order.

Leave the blanks until completely dry. This requires only a few hours.

Gently pierce each ball and remove it.

The result is charming blanks that will be the basis for our composition.

Carefully place part of the garland inside each ball.

Fill a small wicker basket with balls with a garland. We decorate the composition with various autumn leaves and cones. It looks very attractive.

Decorative wreath

Perhaps the most popular type of decor is a wreath, which is customary to decorate the front door or windows in honor of the upcoming holiday.In fact, it is very simple to do it yourself, so we recommend that you try it.

Necessary materials:

• sprigs of rosemary, olive, eucalyptus and others;
• seasonal berries;
• nippers;
• secateurs;
• thin and thick wire.

We take several branches and, if necessary, cut them. It is important that they are all approximately the same length.

Wrap the bouquet with wire and securely fasten the end.

We make several of the same blanks based on the desired wreath size.

We attach the first workpiece to the ring and wrap it several times with wire for a more reliable fixation.

We apply another workpiece by slightly shifting it down and fixing it in the same way.

In the process, pay attention so that the wire is not visible.

We position the last workpiece so that the edge comes under the first part. This way you can hide the wire.

On the inside of the wreath we attach a piece of wire so that you can hang it.

Beautiful, original DIY decor is ready! Depending on the season or holiday, you can make a variety of options.

Stylish candle holders with decor

Lovers of candles and evening romance just can not do without beautiful, stylish candlesticks. Everyone can decorate them without problems, because for the decor you will need completely simple materials.

We will prepare such materials:

• autumn leaves (natural or artificial);
• scissors;
• Pine cones;
• glue;
• brushes;
• twine;
• additional decor;
• small candlesticks or glass jars;
• candles;
• tags from kraft paper.

Let's start decorating the first candlestick. To do this, we prepare a glass jar, a candle, autumn leaves and decor.

Glue the leaves to the jar in random order and leave to dry.

To make the candlestick look really attractive, decorate the upper part with twine or any other decoration.

For the second candlestick you will have to use a slightly larger amount of decor.

To begin with, we write on the tag a pleasant phrase, a word or just the name of the person whom you want to please with a small present.

We fix the tag on the twine, add a bump and tie the whole decor to the neck of the candlestick.

Add autumn leaves and a ribbon to the composition.

The next version of the candlestick decor looks incredibly beautiful in the evening.

To do this, we decorate with leaves the bottom of the jar or candlestick. To keep them tight, we use glue.

At this stage, you can finish, but in this case, we suggest using an additional decor.

Beautiful, original candlesticks will definitely help you in creating a cozy atmosphere.

Leaves - a simple, but at the same time universal material that perfectly complements any decor. In addition, this is a great opportunity to show your creativity and do something with your own hands.
