DIY Autumn Leaves Frame for Cozy Fall Decor
Make a beautiful fall decor piece with this DIY autumn leaves frame! Easy to craft with Mod Podge and dried leaves – great for gifts or seasonal display.
Fall is hands down my favorite season to craft: cooler temps, cozy vibes, and nature showing off with the most beautiful colors.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably picked up a few pretty leaves on your walks (or maybe your kids handed you a whole crunchy bouquet). Well, now’s the time to put those beauties to good use with this simple but stunning DIY autumn leaves frame!
This project is the perfect mix of easy and elegant. All you need is a basic wood frame, some Mod Podge, dried leaves, and a little patience. The end result is something you’ll actually want to display year after year.
You’ll layer the leaves on with Mod Podge (I used Matte, but Gloss or Satin work just as well!), sealing everything in to create a beautiful, textured frame that totally captures the spirit of fall.
One tip? Don’t skip the tweezers. Dried leaves can be delicate, and using tweezers helps you place them precisely without tearing or crumbling.
And if you’re wondering how to dry leaves for this craft, I’ve got you covered. Check out my full tutorial on how to press and preserve leaves the easy way!
This is such a fun project to do on your own or with older kids, and it makes a lovely homemade gift, too. Ready to make something that feels a little like fall magic? Let’s get started!

Step 1: Some cheaper frames are a little more rough, and this project works best if your frame is smooth. You should sand and wipe away the excess dust before painting if needed.
