Do you await the change of seasons to autumn, when colorful Fall Leaves burst forth from trees, changing the landscape into an amber hue? I love Fall Decorations in rich browns, sunburst oranges, goldenrod yellows and sunset reds, that call to mind chilly evenings, warming bonfires and mulled, spiced cider.

Ornaments are beautiful fall decorations that can enhance any table setting or Thanksgiving centerpiece. Fall leaves dominate the look of this simple glass ball ornament that can be hung on an ornament stand on a mantel, or make a few of them and fill a tall, clear cylinder vase for unique fall decorations that you can easily make yourself with only four supplies.

Make Your Own Fall Decorations With A Fall Leaves Ornament

It’s easy to make your own fall decorations! Here are step by step instructions on how to make a fall leaves ornament that you will want to keep out long after the trees have all lost their leaves.

Supplies:

• Clear glass ball ornament
• Brown paint
• Paper fall leaves or fall leaf confetti
• Decorative ribbon

Step 1: Remove the cap off of the clear glass ball ornament and pour some brown paint in the center of the glass ball bottom and form a small pool.

Step 2: Carefully tilt the ornament to run the paint up one side, widening it at the bottom and narrowing as you go towards the top hole.

Step 3: Keep turning the glass ball, moving the paint to form a wide tree covering at the top. You may need to add more paint as necessary. Turn the glass ball upside down and dry the paint overnight, allowing any excess to run out.

Step 4: Once the paint is dry, feed the fall leaves into the opening.

Step 5: Replace the cap back on the ornament and tie a decorative ribbon to the top to transform your fall leaves ornament into one of your favorite fall decorations. Hang it from an ornament stand on your mantel or as a table centerpiece.

That’s it! Making your own fall decorations means that your home will be uniquely decorated to fit your lifestyle. If you want a coordinated display, take the remaining paper fall leaves or confetti and scatter them around the top of the table around the ornament.
