4 Simple DIY Fall Decor Using Leaves
Foter

What makes fall so wonderful? The cool breezes, cozy sweaters, and, of course, the beautiful leaves. Celebrate the coming of fall with these very simple, very affordable, and very adorable DIY décor centered around the leaves.

1. Framed Leaves

What you will need: A clear glass frame and fake, or real, leaves (different sizes and colors)

All you have to do is place 3 leaves, smallest to largest, faced down into the frame in a vertical position. You can hang this on your wall or just place it on your dresser. This is my favorite DIY because it is very pretty and so easy to make.

2 Autumn Lights

What you will need: Fake leaves and fairy light

Take a leaf, fold it in half, and cut a little incision into the middle of it. Then, poke the light into the hole of the leaf. Do this into you have all of the lights in a leaf.

This looks great hanging on a wall, especially above or around a window.

3. Illuminating Leaf Candle

What you will need: Mason Jar, a fake leaf (medium to large), acrylic paint, a paintbrush, and a small candle

You should begin by attaching your leaf to the front of the jar with a piece of tape. With the color of your choosing, paint the entire jar while painting over the attached leaf. When the entire jar is painted, remove the leaf. Then, leave the jar to completely finish drying. Once the jar is dry, place the candle inside and light it. You could also tie a string of twine or a fall-themed ribbon around the opening.


4. Leaf Bowls

What you will need: A balloon, fake leaves, mod podge, scissors, a bowl (to place the balloon in) , and a sponge brush

Begin by cutting the stems off of the leaves and peeling off the veins if there are any on them. Then, blow up the balloon to your desired size and put it inside of the mixing bowl to keep it in place. With the mod podge in a cup, apply a thin layer on the top of your balloon. Lay a leaf on top of the mod podge, smooth it out with your fingers, and a apply a thin layer of mod podge on top of it. Continue this process, covering empty spaces by overlapping the leaves on top of the balloon.

Tip: How much you cover the balloon determines how much depth you bowl will have.

When the mod podge dries completely, carefully pop the balloon with a pin at the tied end to slowly let the air out. The leaves may shrink down when the balloon deflates, but it will go back to normal after a minute. Now you should have a bowl made out of leaves

Use your bowl to hold Halloween candy or just use it as a decoration.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
