Fall Leaf Wreath art project

//  928 Comments

The first time we made a fall leaf wreath craft project was a few years ago when Little Sister was three years old. We had collected beautiful Autumn leaves to create a lovely fall decoration with the colorful leaves. We decided to make more fall leaf wreaths this week to decorate our house and bring the colorful Autumn beauty of nature into our home.Hand made Autumn leaf wreath made with colorful fall colors

The first time we made a fall leaf wreath a few years ago, we used fresh leaves. While this looked lovely for a few days, as the leaves dried they curled up and it wasn’t quite as lovely as it originally was. This time around we decided to use pressed Autumn leaves we had collected for our Leaf Man inspired art and our wax resist watercolor leaves art project.

I love making Autumn leaf inspired arts and crafts projects to decorate our house for fall. There are so many beautiful colors and unique shapes of leaves. I often find myself picking up fall leaves that catch my eye wherever we may be: going to the library, walking out to the mailbox, exploring by our creek, going to the store. I’ve noticed that my kids have picked up the same habit as me with fall leaf collecting. I find leaves tucked in pockets, piled next to a carseat in the car, grasped in little hands coming in from an outdoor exploration. I love to hear “Mama, look at this one!” as Big Sister and Little Brother come running with a new, colorful fall leaf to add to our collection.

We incorporated a naturalist learning experience in our leaf wreath art project for our homeschool nature lesson for the day. We sorted through our pressed leaves and separated them into matching leaf shapes. Then we identified the names of the trees (this is a user friendly tree ID book we use) that each type of leaf came from: maple, cottonwood, aspen, willow, alder, and burr oak. We discussed the habitat where the different varieties of trees grow and where we found the different varieties of trees and leaves.

Supplies:
Leaves of various shapes, sizes and colors pressed and dried

liquid glue (this kind worked great)

large piece of cardboard (used shipping boxes work great)

scissors

pencil

hole punch

piece of string

large circle pattern and medium circle pattern (we use large and medium size mixing bowls from the kitchen like these ones)

Directions:

  • Step 1: The first step is to the create the form for the wreath that the leaves will be glued on.  Place the large circle pattern on the piece of cardboard and trace with a pencil. Place the medium size circle pattern inside the large circle you just traced and trace around the medium size circle pattern.
  • Step 2: Cut out the circle on the lines drawn. The inner circle is tricky to cut with scissors so I used a box cutter. Young children will need adult help with this step as the cardboard circle can be tricky to cut out. When done, you should have a cardboard frame for a leaf wreath that looks something like this:

  • Step 3: Spread the liquid glue on the cardboard frame and start placing leaves on the wreath. When overlapping leaves, place a little more glue on the back of the leaves to ensure they stick together.
  • Step 4: When your wreath is covered with leaves to your liking, use a hole punch to place a hole in the cardboard wreath frame about 1/4″ from the outer edge. Lace a piece of string through the hole and tie it in a knot to make a string loop to hang it up.
  • Step 5: Allow the glue on the fall leaf wreath to dry then hang it up and enjoy your lovely Autumn leaf inspired art project!

Big Sister loves things that sparkle so she decided to decorate her fall leaf wreath by gluing on sparkly gems from our craft supply stash.

Big Sister was thrilled with her sparkly Autumn leaf wreath and hung it on her bedroom door to decorate for fall. The leaf wreath I made graces the wall in our living room. I love the vibrant hues of Autumn glowing on the wreath that adds colorful warmth to the room as the temperatures are falling outside and snowflakes fall from the sky.

  8. There’s one incredibly painful mistake that I see new entrepreneurs make. It’s painful because it keeps them from success. They feel like they’re working hard, but not making any progress. The mistake? Trying to do too many things at once.
    Focus, by definition, means narrowing your field of vision and attention. It means choosing which opportunities, projects, and even customers you’re NOT going to pursue. And it’s really, really hard. When I first started online, I was trying to do it all: podcasting, writing epic guides, blogging and I wasn’t doing any of it well. I realized that each time I jumped from idea to idea, I was diluting my efforts.”

  9. It wasn’t until I decided to focus in on just ONE strategy, creating an incredibly high-value virtual summit, that I started to make serious progress in my business. After several months of super-hard concentrated effort, I launched the Branding Summit at the end of 2014, one of the largest virtual gatherings of experts on personal branding anywhere. I grew my email list by almost 3,000 highly engaged subscribers in a few weeks, and generated $20,000 in profit — much more than I’d earned up to that point!”
    Choose the one thing that will move the needle for you and your business. When you try to be the best podcaster, blogger, author, business coach and event producer all at the same time, you end up being mediocre at all of them. Pick one (like learning how to master the art and science of cold emailing). Focus. And work it, hard.

  10. One piece of bonus advice: As a newer business owner, one of the biggest ROI’s you’ll get is from investing in growing your email list. Whether you plan on offering a mastermind, writing books or producing online summits, you’ll need a powerful, engaged email list. Make that a focus from day one. If you want to hear the best advice that over 60 online experts and world-class business owners have on list building, check out the online event of the year, List Building School. It’s free, and it’s epic. Ryan here is one of our amazing speakers too
    They’re convinced that success in business is pre-determined by the awesomeness of their business idea alone. And they couldn’t be more wrong. Execution is equally (if not more) important than the actual idea. Ideation is the easy and fun part and execution is the hard and tedious one.”

  11. That’s why people would rather put faith in their ideas than invest countless hours of work towards making it happen. Like the character of Mark Zuckerberg famously said in “The Social Network” movie: “If you guys were the inventors of Facebook, you’d have invented Facebook.”
    The most painful mistake I see entrepreneurs make is launching before learning. For example, you may decide you want to launch a marketing consulting company, so you hastily make a website, content and reach out to people, but you haven’t yet figured out who your target clientele is. What people actually need help with or what you’re specifically good at. So no one bites.”

  12. Or you could launch a new app, but you don’t know what sells well in the app store or how to promote it. So even though you have a great product, no one sees it. Or you decide to write a book but haven’t really spent time with the key concept—researching, talking to people—so your book proposal falls flat and feels generic. Publishers ignore it.”
    This common mistake could also be framed as an inspiration/perspiration problem. We’re so inspired by the end result that we forego the process — a lot of which is hard, un-fun work. In turn, we sacrifice the best possible outcome. And this is painful because the solution is retrospectively so obvious: patience. Take time with each new idea; flesh it out; design it fully; have a plan and not just hope.”

  15. It’s simply surprisingly open-handed of you to supply without
    restraint exactly what a number of us would have marketed
    Those tactics also acted to be a good way to be aware that some people have similar desire
    just like my own to realize a great deal more when it comes to this problem.

  17. “Every step we have taken since this journey began six years ago has been uncharted territory in the history of aircraft,” Bob Balaram, the Mars Helicopter chief engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said in a statement. “And while getting deployed to the surface will be a big challenge, surviving that first night on Mars alone, without the rover protecting it and keeping it powered, will be an even bigger one.”

  42. GO!!!
    This phrase was said by the first cosmonaut on Earth – Yuri Gagarin. (Yuri Gagarin)
    He was the first astronaut on Earth. He was Russian! …
    Now Russia is becoming a strong country, gas pipelines, a vaccine against COVID-19, an army.
    Is this very reminiscent of the communist Soviet Union?
    How do you think?
    Now we have total control in our country. I am interested in the opinion of foreigners.
