The magic of autumn at home: 9 creative and colorful decorations to try
Autumn is a season with a truly unique charm. A melancholic beauty that enchants, with the vibrant colors of the leaves that light up the landscapes with warm tones, while the temperatures are slowly dropping. In fact, nature is tinged with spectacular shades, and we all turn our eyes to the "green" spaces that surround us to admire their beauty.
So why not recreate some of that magic at home? A walk through parks, woods and gardens can yield a booty of leaves of many different shapes and colors that we can then use for creative projects around the house. Paintings, garlands, festoons and more: take a look at the ideas below:
A branch, nylon thread and lots of colored leaves. Even if you haven't found any real ones, you could maybe cut them out and paint them! It will take very little time to hang them up and create a decoration that brings a splash of color to a wall or a window. And it wouldn't hurt to hang them up in the middle of a room either!
Vinyl glue, sponge brushes and a bowl to act as a mold: cover it with leaves and with glue, then let everything dry and gently separate the stiffened layer of leaves from the bowl. You will have created an original serving tray!
Have you ever thought about sewing autumn leaves together? It is a simple but effective idea to create an original decoration to be placed on a wall, or even on the edges of shelves and windowsills.
To make the leaves last longer, you can coat them with a protective layer of spray laquer, or even with wax!
And what if the leaves became the relief decoration of a painting? You only need to choose the ones you like best, maybe even those preserved with wax or transparent spray finishes that seal them, and then arrange them on a canvas with a solid color background (black will make them stand out a lot, but you can also choose other colors) , and when you have found the arrangement you like, secure it using hot glue.
The leaves of the magnolia are already very thick and naturally waxed, so they do not need other products. Equip yourself with an indelible paint marker (metallic, white or a pastel color that stands out against the background of the leaves) and write a letter on each one. You can join them to form an inscription in a decoration that is very easy to create and personalize.

You cannot never miss an idea for one of the most popular decorations in the world, especially in the cold seasons: the round garland to be displayed on the entrance door.
How about creating a panel of leaves, arranged in layers like flakes, one on top of the other: it would be perfect as a backdrop for photos or other thematic decorations!
Each leaf is a canvas to be painted in bright and fresh colors: a boho touch for a composition full of joy.
Think how nice it would be if every bulb of a string of lights was placed behind a large autumn leaf: it becomes in an instant a beautiful decoration during the day and magical at night!
