The glorious fall colors are a palette for DIY projects with autumn leaves. As we head deeper into fall – those crisp nights turn the foliage in the northern states (especially northeastern states) into something pretty special. Vibrant reds, oranges, yellows and every shade in between deck the trees. Take advantage of nature’s colors and use these fall leaves in projects like the ones below. Some of them are incredibly creative. And best of all, easy to do.
Could fall get any more beautiful? What does fall mean to you? Campfires, rustling leaves, sleeping under blankets. Football, shorter days …and turkey.
