Today I’ve got a gorgeous Metallic Browns and Gold Leaf Fall Wreath that I painted up, just perfect for fall. I love the shimmer of the different shades. The wreath has all the tones of fall just glammed up a little bit. These Simple Burlap Fall Wreath and Updated Autumn Wreath with Corn Husks are also some of my fall favorite wreaths over the year.
Metallic Browns and Gold Leaf Fall Wreath
I am crushing on metallics this fall… so I thought a DIY metallic leaf was in order.
Here’s what you need to make this wreath.
Metallic Browns and Gold Leaf Fall Wreath Supplies: (affiliate links provided for your convenience)
- grapevine wreath
- pack of leaves (I used about 70 leaves)
- Worn Penny paint
- Rich Espresso paint
- Liquid Gold Leaf
I divided up the leaves into three piles and painted each batch with one of the 3 shades.
Then I used a hot glue gun to attach the painted leaves into the grapevine wreath.
I love all these shades together!

love the color combo and how easy it was to transform the leaves.
did you feel the need to put a clear topcoat on the leaves?
does it stand up to being on an outside door?
thanks, I am really excited to try this!
Emily I’ve only used it indoors, so I’m not sure how it would hold up outdoors. I’m sure a clear topcoat would be a great option though.
Happy crafting!
This is so pretty Maryann! Crushing on the metallics!

I love your wreath. The colors are so beautiful. Which paint company did you use, if you would share with me. Thank you for sharing.
Sure Stephanie! So the gold is liquid gold leaf. The two paints are both Dazzling Metallics from DecorArt. Their shades are Worn Penny and Rich Espresso.
Oh MaryAnn I am loving your leaf wreath. So pretty with metallic leaves all over. Metallic colors are gorgeous. Have noticed lots of different colors used for Fall this year. While I love jewel colors of Fall metallic is very strong and poignant. Enjoyed this post. Have so many projects lined up think I’ll make t hem for people to give. No more room to have in house.
Actually today I went around undoing some of arrangements, moved some items, just uncluttered. Felt lighter afterwards.
Got one set of flannel sheets out of storage today, some long sleeve tshirts and couple pair of lighter flannel jammies. Been a mite nippy at night, frost warnings so thought while I was thinking about it would hunt them up. Think will be glad I did in few days. It’s trying to cool off more here. Hope so. Happy weekand Fall
Thanks JaneEllen… we are starting to cool down here in So.Cal. It’s only suppose to be in the 80’s today … 🙂
I love your wreath. Very pretty colors.
Thanks Cyndee
Your wreath is BEAUTIFUL! So excited that I actually have all those items in my craft closet-thanks for sharing!
Thank you Cynthia! Happy painting 🙂
