Make your own autumn decorations

Transform colourful leaves into eye-catching indoor decorations with edding gloss paint markers

Nature is at its most resplendent during autumn when landscapes glow in warm hues from golden yellow to deep red. At this time of year, what could be nicer than going for a walk for a breath of fresh autumn air where you’ll find the perfect decorative materials right at your feet – leaves in a vast array of shapes and colours. First, press the leaves for a few days until they’re dry. Now, for a magical effect, use the fine-nibbed edding gloss paint markers to draw over the natural pattern of the leaf veins.

Step-by-step

Step 1

Begin by pressing a selection of colourful autumn leaves for a few days until dry. Using an edding 780 gloss paint marker (stroke width 0.8 mm) in white, draw over the delicate leaf veins to make patterns. How you design it is entirely up to you.

Step 2

Not only do the leaves make a stylish table decoration, they also look fabulous as an autumn-themed window decoration. There are eight completely opaque, shiny colours to choose from, but if you're working with two colours, let the first colour dry before continuing with the next.
