Changing fall trees are often a too common motif in indie craft; but who doesn’t love fall colors and the crunch of leaves under their feet? That said, one of my favorite indie crafters right now is Get Felt Up. She makes prefectly autumnal necklaces out of felt.

I love that her necklaces are big and bold, but since they are made of felt, you barely know you are wearing them.

This connected leaf necklaces is 2.5″ across at the longest point.

And this might be going on my Christmas list.
