The best artificial fall leaves, counted out for the table
A bag of fake leaves is the cheapest fall decoration there is, and the easiest to overdo. Count, color mix and leaf shape decide which bag.
By Sawyer V. · Published
Artificial leaves are the filler of fall decorating. They go down the middle of a Thanksgiving table, into a glass jar on the mantel, onto a wreath, or onto a string as garland. They are sold by the hundred or by the thousand — and a thousand is more than most people think.
We counted out how far a bag goes before ranking them. Five below, one to skip.

Kubert fake fall leaves, 1,000 pieces, assorted maple
1,000 faux maple leaves, assorted mixed colors
6.8
/ 10
The pick on count, which is what a bulk bag is for. Sort the brightest leaves out as you scatter and the mix reads deeper.

- 1,000 pieces, published, which is the figure this whole category is bought on
- A mixed multicolor bag rather than one flat color, so a scatter does not read as confetti
Watch out
- The color mix is not broken out, so you cannot tell how many of each shade arrive
- Neither leaf size nor material is published
#ad · Price as of October 26, 2026 · How we are funded
Specs from the Amazon listing (ASIN B08HS4DPCD), verified via the Creators API 2026-09-24. Replaces the discontinued Bassion 1,000-piece bag (B015C4YD2Y).
#2 — The widest published color range
Artificial fall maple leaves, 400 pieces, 8 colors
400 maple leaves in 8 published colors
7.0
/ 10
The pick for color control. Fewer leaves than the bulk bags, and the only one that tells you how many shades arrive.

Good
- Eight published colors is the widest breakdown in this field — most bags say only assorted
- A published color count is what lets you plan a palette rather than hope for one
- 400 leaves covers a table runner and a mantel with some left for a jar
Watch out
- 400 is well short of the 1,000-piece bags, so a whole-porch scatter needs two
- Neither leaf size nor material is published
#ad · Price as of October 26, 2026 · How we are funded
Specs from the Amazon listing (ASIN B0HCY4Y68T), verified via the Creators API 2026-10-18. Replaces the HARSOML B0H32SWS3W, which went Currently unavailable; this listing publishes the same two figures at the same price — 400 pieces and 8 colors — so every spec, score and claim below still holds, and the only change is that it names no brand where HARSOML did. This slot earlier held the discontinued ElaDeco 1,000-piece 10-color bag (B07WZM16RR); the count dropped from 1,000 to 400 and the published color count from 10 to 8 at that point.
#3 — Aisles, jars and big events
Moon Boat artificial fall maple leaves, 1,100 pieces
1,100 maple leaves, the biggest bag here
5.0
/ 10
Best for events on count alone: the biggest bag here, and now the one that tells you least about what is in it.

Good
- 1,100 leaves is the largest published count on this page, which is what an aisle or a long table needs
- A named brand on a bulk bag, which matters when you want the same leaf mix again next year
- Sold explicitly as bulk, so the count is the product rather than a bonus figure
Watch out
- No published color mix, so what shade of autumn arrives is unknown — the bag it replaces at least said multicolored
- No published leaf size either, where two bags on this page publish 3.35 and 3.4 in
- No material stated, and no odorless claim, which matters on a bag of 1,100 plastic leaves opened indoors
- Loose leaves blow away outdoors
#ad · Price as of October 26, 2026 · How we are funded
Specs from the Amazon listing (ASIN B076CD95WM), verified via the Creators API 2026-10-10. Replaces B0B631F63D, the ATFL 1,100-piece bag, which Amazon now shows as currently unavailable. The 1,100 count and the maple leaf carry over, so this slot's premise holds; the odorless claim and the multicolored description are NOT published on this listing and have been removed rather than carried across.
#4 — Wreath and craft work
FZBNSRKO artificial fall maple and oak leaves, 100 pieces, 4 sizes
100 maple and oak leaves in 4 sizes

Best for crafts: fewer leaves, more shapes, sized for a wreath.

How we ranked these
Count first, since leaves are bought by the bag. Then color mix and shape, which decide whether a scatter looks like real leaves or like confetti. Then what the listing tells you.
| Bag | Count | Leaf | Colors | Material |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kubert | 1,000 | Maple | Assorted mix | Not stated |
| 400-leaf, 8 colors | 400 | Maple | 8 | Not stated |
| Moon Boat | 1,100 | Maple | Not stated | Not stated |
| FZBNSRKO | 100 | Maple and oak, 4 sizes | Multicolored | Not stated |
| Factory Direct Craft | Not stated | Maple | Autumn mix | Not stated |
None of these listings publishes a leaf size in inches.

How far 1,000 leaves go
The arithmetic
- Example: a 6 ft table, scatter 12 in wide down the center (an assumption)
- 72 in x 12 in = 864 sq in
- One leaf per 3 x 3 in patch (9 sq in, an assumption): 864 / 9 = 96 leaves
- 1,000 / 96 = about 10 tables
A 1,000-leaf bag covers about ten 6 ft tables at a medium scatter. For one Thanksgiving table, the 100-leaf FZBNSRKO pack is enough, with a handful left for a jar.
Leaves as garland
The arithmetic
- One leaf every 2 in along a string
- 6 ft mantel: 72 / 2 = 36 leaves per strand
- 1,000 / 36 = about 27 strands
A bulk bag makes far more garland than one house needs. Thread a strand for the mantel and one for the table runner, and there is still most of a bag left to scatter.
The 400-leaf, 8-color bag threads about eleven strands by the same arithmetic. For garland that arrives finished, see fall garland.
Color mix is realism
Real fall leaves are not eight flat colors; they are spotted, blotched and shaded. No bag here publishes a leaf-by-leaf breakdown any more, so count is what ranks the Kubert bag first: a thousand leaves in an assorted mix, which is enough to sort as you scatter. That bag’s 8 published colors are the widest published range here, in a smaller 400-leaf bag; sort out the greens and the brightest yellows to push the palette deeper. The palettes that hold together on a porch are on fall porch color palettes.
Wreaths and crafts
For a wreath, shape matters more than count. The FZBNSRKO pack mixes maple and oak leaves in four sizes, which looks more natural than a ring of identical maples, and at 100 leaves it is a craft-sized pack rather than a room-sized bag. Pair it with artificial mums for a harvest wreath, or start from a finished one on the best fall wreaths.
Why Factory Direct Craft is the skip
The Factory Direct Craft listing does not state a count. Leaves are bought by the bag, so count is the spec; without it there is no knowing whether the bag covers one table or ten.
The rest of the table — runners, centerpieces and place settings — is on Thanksgiving table decorations.
Questions
›How many artificial leaves do I need for a table?
About 100 for a 6 ft table with a medium scatter down a 12 in center strip. A 1,000-leaf bag covers about ten tables.
›Can artificial fall leaves go outside?
Only where they are fixed — on a wreath, in garland or inside a closed lantern. Loose leaves blow into the yard within a day.
›Silk or plastic fall leaves?
Silk is softer and drapes; plastic holds its shape. Not one listing here states a material any more, so buy on count and color and expect plastic.
›How do I make fall leaf garland?
Thread one leaf every 2 in onto string or fishing line. A 6 ft mantel takes about 36 leaves.
