DIY Easy Fall Printable Wall Art with Canva

If you feel like jumping in a pile of leaves, buying every pumpkin you see, and have already been wearing thick, fuzzy sweaters, chances are, you already know what time of  year it is! I'm sure you're just as excited as I am for cool weather and breaking out all of your fall decorations (if you haven't already done so!). In the past few weeks as I have been pining for lower temperatures (thanks, North Carolina humidity), I have been in the mindset that if I pretend it's fall-like outside, maybe it will start to actually feel that way. Even though I am still working on that aspect, I was inspired to make this easy fall printable wall art with Canva to get in the autumn spirit!

I freakin' love Canva. It has any and everything you could ever need to create a pretty design in a short time frame without having to know a lot about design. They have thousands and thousands of templates, graphics, illustrations, photos, and so much more that you can add to your designs to make them look super professional.

If you think Canva is just for businesses and entrepreneurs, think again! Canva has templates for anything from teachers' worksheets to planner pages to wedding programs to organizational labels. I literally use it for everything. I use it so much that I have been asked to become a Canva Certified Creative! So stay tuned for more fun DIY designs, especially my DIY wedding tutorials using Canva coming later this fall! 

Canva's features makes creating these fall printables super easy. Their interface is easy to understand and use- you'll be up and running in minutes! Even if you have never designed something before, you will find that you will have no issues with this program.

My favorite thing about fall printable wall art is just how easy and affordable they are. You can literally use any quote or saying that you like and any other elements you find appealing. Trust me, I liked so many quotes, I had to make more than one. You're not just limited to what fall wall decor you can find in the store.

When you print your DIY easy fall printable wall art, you're not even limited to what it's printed on. these easy fall printables are easy enough to just print on printer paper and frame in a pretty frame, but you could also get inventive and experiment with what paper you use and how you hang it.

Without further ado, here is the tutorial for easy fall printable wall art with Canva.

Instructions

1. Open Canva. If you don't already have one, create an account.
2. Click "Use Custom Dimensions" in the upper right hand corner of the homepage. Your new design should be 8 inches wide and 10 inches tall.
3. When your blank design is up, create 8 text boxes. Type "Every year," "I fall for," "pumpkins," "bonfires," "s'mores," "autumn leaves," "apples," and "and you" in each text box.
4. Next, change the fonts and sizes of each text box to these specifications
   • "Every year"- Font: Playfair Display, size 56
   • "I fall for"- Font: Playlist Script, size 80
   • "pumpkins"- Font: Shadows into Light Two, size 72
   • "bonfires"- Font: Playfair Display, size 56
   • "s'mores"- Font: Playlist Script, size 96
   • "autumn leaves"- Font: Shadows into Light Two, size 56
   • "apples"- Font: Playfair Display, size 64
   • "and you"- Font: Playlist Script, size 88
   • Text boxes 1, 4, and 7 should all have the uppercase option in the toolbar (located to the right of the text box alignment) turned on. 
5. Make sure the text boxes are in the correct order and start aligning them in the center of the page. Each line of text should be flush with the one above and below it. They should almost touch and it is OK if they do in places. The text box parameters will be overlapping, but that is OK. Select every text box and click "group" on the right side of the toolbar. Now, everything is locked together so you cannot accidentally drag something out of line. Finish centering the grouped text box. 
6. Change the colors of the text by selecting each text box, clicking the color box in the toolbar, choosing the "+" option, and entering the following color codes:
   1. Text box 1, 4, 7: #692b29
   2. Text box 2, 5, 8: #993626
   3. Text box 3, 6: #db7f2c
7. Next, click "Search" in the left panel and type "leaves of autumn season." Hit enter and select the "illustrations" option underneath the text bar. Add the last graphic on the second row by dragging and dropping it onto your document. Drag the leaves to the bottom of the page and center it. Add a second leaves graphic but this time, rotate it and center it at the top of the page.
8. Name, save, and print your design! If you print it on regular printer paper, trim the edges to fit your 8 x 10 frame. Then, frame it and display it for everyone to see!
