Deep blue wall decor: 3D maple leaf from paper

If you wanna try something new for your fall decoration you have to print out the template for this adorabel 3d maple leaf and start immediately paper crafting. The result will look amazing as wall decor. Personally, I love trying new crafts for fall and this one is definitely different to the common decor with acorns or pumpkins.

And if you want to spice up your fall decor you should try these lovely cappuccino-colored paper acorns.
