This simple fall arrangement didn’t cost me anything because I had all the supplies needed already at home. Even if you don’t have the items at home already, they won’t cost you much since all you need is brown paper bags for the DIY paper leaf, free tree branches, hot glue, and some optional fairy lights.
I love how this project turned out for the corner of our living room and I love showing you how easy and affordable it was to make. Let’s go!
Fall foliage DIY paper leaf branch arrangement
You can use brown packaging paper, brown paper shopping bags, or brown paper lunch bags the way I used for my paper bag snowflake craft. I had plenty of the bags left and they are really affordable at the grocery store for around $2-$4 depending on the size. I like using the bags best since they aren’t as thick as larger brown shopping bags or packing paper.
(If you use brown packaging paper then you could even use a Cricut or other cutting machine to do the leaf-cutting for you.)
Craft supplies needed
- brown paper or brown paper bags like lunch bags or shopping bags
- scissors
- hot glue sticks and glue gun
- branches (acorns optional)
- plug-in fairy lights (optional)

Here are the leaves I found in our neighborhood.
