DIY Fall Project: Leaf Cut-Outs

Pottery Barn features a lovely DIY fall centerpiece involving leaf cut-outs.  Its a cute idea, but for those of us living in the concrete jungle it can be a difficult task finding pretty leaves to use as tracing material.  Blame it on the lack of diverse nature.  As usual, I turned to Google for help and found some leaf outlines to use.  From there, I ripped some pages out of an old book and started tracing, cutting and creating.  Voila... leaves were born.

  1. Beautiful! I loved that you used book pages rather than fall colors. Very 'Anthropologie', they'd look lovely in a simple garland!

  2. Using old books for your leaves was a brilliant idea! My husband and I collect antique books and they are all over our house so this is so perfect for our decor!
