Leaf Wall Art Decor Idea

I was experimenting with using leaves to create unique wall decor.

I laid out some of the leaves from my paper leaf tutorial into a heart shape.  You can do this on the wall easily with some double-sided tape, pop dots, adhesive wall putty, wall-safe adhesive, etc.

Here is it with more densely laid leaves.

Things That Inspire Me This Week

With the onset of Fall weather, my mind is on crafts and Nature. Here are some things inspiring me this week.

I came across a blog by Pink Penguin and discovered her amazing patchwork pouches. All I can think of about now is how I have tons of pretty scraps of fabric and how I would love to make pouches like these. She even has a tutorial! If I had time, I would make this amazing afghan covered with flowers! It's so beautiful! Can't you imagine it in your living room spread out on top of the couch? Or in a little girl's room? (Heck, forget a little girl's room, I want in in MY room!) It would look so good!

I find Fall leaves to be an easy inspiration for me, especially as the sunlight streams through them. They light up like bright reddish flames and I can't help but stare at them in wonder.

On the lawns, the yellows and reds contrast well with the still-green grass, and each one is unique from the next. I look up and it seems like the leaves go on forever into the sky.

And there's something romantic about the way this picture turned out. I can't quite put my finger on it.

Have a happy weekend!
