Here’s a quick and easy way to decorate for any season. Choose your favorite flat decor, mount it on white matting or construction paper (or a patterned fabric!) and frame.
I found a few plastic fall leaves (though it would be interesting to try drying the real deal – that is if leaves changed color in San Diego :() and lined several frames that I had on hand with white construction paper for a simple look.
Side note: Kevin thinks I have a frame problem… it’s true, *sigh*. I have a huge box of frames that I constantly rotate in and out around the house. Sometimes frames will sit for months, sometimes even a couple of years before their day of display comes. Most all of my frames are basic white, brown or black – nothing ornate and most made for hanging on a wall. The penny sale at Aaron Brothers is awesome – I have dreams of photo collages and what I will hang!
But I digress… For Christmas, I might change out the leaves for little felt Christmas trees or maybe mount doilies that resemble snowflakes on patterned fabric.
If you’re not a frame addict, try switching out a few of your family photos just for the holidays – or you could always put that Aaron Brothers, Joanns or Michaels 40% off coupon to good use ;).
A quick and ever changing display. Great fall colors idea.

I love your idea! Instant art for fall on the cheap!
Fantastic idea! I have tons of frames that aren’t in great shape and are just waiting for a coat of paint. As far as Kevin goes, he doesn’t have to understand the excitement and joy of changing things up a bit…he just has to live with it!
I love this time of year, especially the fall foliage. This is a cute project!
Very cute idea without spending much money…and the ideas are endless!
I am having a fall coffee today, and these would be great….if only I had more time!
