First off, apologies for being on hiatus for so long; life gets in the way. But, I'm excited to be back with another DIY! I love fall and all things fall, so I was trying to think of ideas to decorate my room for the season. I had a spring-themed garland in my too, so it was only obvious to make one autumn-themed.
This garland would be perfect for the upcoming holiday of Thanksgiving or it'd just be really nice for backdrops/decoration.
Things You'll Need
- Faux Leaves (I got a pack with 24 leaves from Michaels for $4)
- Scrapbook/Colored Paper (You can choose fitting colors for any occasion, I chose fall colors)
- Twine
- Scissors
- Needle and thread
- Glue
- Glitter
1. Cut out a template for the flags.
I didn't use specific measurements but I would start with a rectangle and cut out a triangle at the bottom.
2. Using the template, cut out the flags on the scrapbook paper.
I made a garland with about 9 flags so I cut out 3 of each color. I chose colors with warmer tones to fit the season.
3. For the leaves, use the needle and thread to sew on a loop at the top of the leaves.
4.Arrange the leaves and the flags on the twine.
Cut the twine to fit the area you want to cover, I cut about 2 yards.
5. Loop on the leaves first and space them out on where you planned them.
6. Fold down the flag from the top and glue it over the twine.
7.Optional: As a final touch, I added gold glitter to the leaves. I used glitter glue, but you can also use Mod Podge and glitter.
Ta-da! This idea can be catered to any season or occasion. It'd be nice for photo booth backdrops or parties! I hope you enjoyed the tutorial, happy fall!
