Bouquet based on leaves

Thanks to a beautiful autumn bouquet, any room will noticeably change and gain an appropriate warm atmosphere. It is necessary to collect leaves of different colors and sizes, and then combine them into one composition.

It is preferable to additionally use details symbolizing the past summer: branches with berries hanging on them, dried meadow flowers, etc.

It is better to put the finished bouquet not in a classic vase, but in the usual household items (metal bucket, watering can, old flower pots, pots).

Candle decoration

Ordinary wax candles look boring. In order to give them a twist, you can decorate them with bright autumn leaves. Some interesting candlestick decor options:

• fresh fallen leaves are wrapped around a candle and secured with twine or braid;
• leaflets are glued with clerical glue;
• the candle is placed in a glass vessel, which is decorated with leaves in any way.

When working with candles, it is important to be careful not to let the leaves burn. They should never come in contact with the flame.

Wreaths

An unusual wreath can be woven from bright autumn leaves. The accessory will look much more interesting if you add to it fresh berries of viburnum or mountain ash, as well as cones, citrus fruits, apples, acorns. If there is no possibility or desire to use fresh ingredients, you can create beautiful compositions with details from synthetic materials.

Such wreaths can not only be worn on the head. Often they are hung on the front door and indicate the hospitality and hospitality of the owners.

Leaf fall

Using bright beautiful leaves at home, you can create a pendant that imitates leaf fall. To do this, you need several rods, beads, attractive threads or fishing line (you can use a satin ribbon). On horizontally suspended branches, autumn leaves are attached with the help of threads. It is better to place them at different levels, so the leaf fall will look more natural. When entering the room, the wind will swing the foliage and create a feeling of unity with nature.

Balls as a decoration

Dry leaves retain their presentable appearance over time. A neatly straightened yellowed sheet is placed in a transparent glass ball (the maple looks best). On top of the ball can be decorated with bright ribbon or beads and hung on a Christmas tree. Such a decoration will look great in the interior, regardless of the time of year.

Autumn frame

To create an unusual element of decor, you need a ready-made plain photo frame.You can make it yourself from cardboard. Leaflets of different colors and sizes are glued onto the surface around the photo slot. It’s better to hold them between the pages of a thick book first, so that they become perfectly flat and look beautiful on the frame.

Papier mache

From large maple leaves you can create a beautiful vase for keys and other little things with your own hands. It is necessary to take:

• bright red and yellow leaves;
• foam sponge;
• matte adhesive for decoupage;
• Balloon;
• small capacity;
• needle, thread and scissors.

Leaflets should be large, thin, but without defects. Procedure:

1. To clear leaves of dirt, cut off excess cuttings.
2. Inflate the ball and insert it into the container so that it is stable.
3. Apply matte glue to the inflated ball with a sponge.
4. Gently lay the leaves on half the entire surface of the ball. Each layer should be additionally coated with glue on top.
5. Remove excess glue before it dries.
6. The future bottom of the vase must be lined with an additional layer of leaves with glue.
7. A few hours after the glue dries, the ball is pierced by a needle and bursts. The bowl for the little things is ready.

Leaves on the carpet

In many apartments, carpets from the Soviet era still hang on the walls. If you are not planning to remove the textile fabric, you can decorate it with autumn leaves. Bright maple, oak or other leaves are sewn onto the stems. Bright threads of yellow, orange or red should be used, as they will be better combined with foliage.

Shelter behind the leaves

Behind the fall foliage, you can hide wires and other objects that spoil the appearance of the room and are striking in the eyes of residents and guests of the house. You need to take a double-sided tape and carefully fix the large whole sheets so that the wires are not visible.

Wall decor

All visitors to the house can be accentuated on a beautiful wall decorated with a garland of small or large leaves with clear contours. They can simply be pasted on the wallpaper in such a way as to create the feeling of a hanging thread on which foliage is strung. You can connect the leaves with tape, attach it to the wall and partially entangle furniture. A large colorful panel will also become a real decoration of a boring plain surface.

Volumetric paintings

This is an original technique that everyone can master. A sheet, foil, glue and coloring composition are applied in a special way on the surface, while creating the illusion of imprinting plants on stone or metal. Luxurious relief paintings can decorate not only the walls, but also the furniture.

Interesting panels and paintings

Herbarium-dried leaves can be framed and hung on the walls. If you connect imagination, you can get interesting panels, including those with plain plots.

If you place flat dry leaves between transparent glasses and connect with a narrow frame, you get the original stained glass. They can be placed on a windowsill or chest of drawers - sunlight will beautifully illuminate the veins of autumn foliage.

Garlands

A garland of bright foliage can decorate not only the walls, but also the stairs, window openings or even the New Year tree. Leaflets are fastened together by a thread, ribbon or other devices. They can be arranged randomly or in a specific sequence. It is important to fix the leaves well so that they do not fall off the structure in parts.

Tableware decor

Leaves can decorate uninteresting glassware. It is enough to collect the most beautiful specimens and gently stick them on plates or cups.To wash the dishes, you should cover the finished composition with a dense transparent varnish.

Skeleton leaves for decoration

For skeletal leaflets are subjected to special processing, after which they leave a "lace" base. You can use such raw materials for finishing any interior items. Recently, skeletonized leaves are used to create female jewelry.

The basis of the lace can be covered with paint or varnish, which are applied sequins and even beads. A panel with such leaves will look much more attractive than with ordinary dried foliage.

Leaves - a unique natural material, which is often used for interior decoration. Do not be afraid of experiments and give up interesting ideas with autumn foliage. Bright accents will remind you of the past summer every day.
