Fall wreaths are beautiful, but I found a few other ideas for those stunning leaves that are all over…well, everywhere but here. I’ll just have to pretend they’re here and buy them at the store.
Making a swag couldn’t be easier, and it’s a great way to dress up a garden gate or door. Okay, I want the garden gate in the photo along with the swag!
Each leaf is so beautiful on its own. You can turn them into beautiful wall art. This is something that would be great to do with your kids!
Start by collecting a few fall beauties the next time your outside. Flatten them under a book, and then copy them faced down with a color copier. Glue your copy on a canvas-covered art board. Hang one or several in a row. What a beautiful display for fall!
This window box over the fireplace looks sooooo cozy! Inside or outside you can keep your fall leaves fresh by arranging them in wet florist foam.
Doesn’t that look easy? Window boxes are a great feature anytime of the year. {Not that I’m hinting about wanting window boxes or anything.}
If you live in Florida, this might be the best option…tissue paper leaves. Just cut out some fall leaves of your own and hang them with fishing line. Most people around here have fishing line everywhere!
Of course, any fall branches would look great in a vase! Enjoy your beautiful leaves, and we’ll keep hanging in there with our super-hot weather in the 90s! I know you’ll all be wishing you were here in February!

I love fall leaves!! Thanks for sharing some great ideas.
For now I don’t envy your hot weather. I’d rather freeze than sweat! Come February / March time Florida might sound nice
I’ll let you know! It depends on how much snow we have. If we have lots of snow I’m happy to be cold but if it’s dreary and muddy then I’m ready to be warm.
I love that gate in the first picture also! There’s something so inviting about a gate………

Just beautiful !! Top this I Love you both !!
I love to look up this kind of “stuff’ and learn how to make use of simple inexpensive “God’s creations” I too, love the beautiful fall leaves and I read somewhere where you can use hair spray and spray the front and back of the leaves and they will stay a long time, and when they are dry, you can use a holer and string them in your windows. I tried this and I have a bushel basket full of those fall leaves by my fireplace. I am going to string some to take to my volunteer job at a local World Impact thrift store and just string in the window display. They will be beautiful up until Thanksgiving.
