Today I have such a fun and simple project for you! This would be ideal to do with your kiddos, too. Head to your backyard and collect some lovely fall leaves. If you’re not the nature collecting type, you can use faux leaves like I did (I’m a nature lover but my leaves were all still green when I made this). Today I am sharing my Embellished Leaf Garland.
Supplies:
Faux Leaves
Washi Tape
Black Paint Pen
String
The first step for this project is to “embellish” your leaves. Using a black paint pen, I traced the veins of the leaves and then added additional lines until each leaf was completely covered.
Then, I pulled out all my fun fall colored washi tape and created mini flags to add to the garland.
Next, I laid out my string, the leaves and the washi tape flags. Using hot.glue I applied a small dot to the string and secured everything down.
The finished product was this bright and colorful Embellished Leaf Garland.

Amy you have some of the coolest projects! I love this garland! Also I think I already told you, but wanted to let you know (again) about a new linky party starting this Saturday at 8pm called “Found & Foraged” I think your project would be perfect for it! Can’t wait to party with you at http://www.houseofhipsters.com

Love this, Amy! Simple crafts that make a big statement are the best 🙂
I love how you drew on the leaves! So cute, Amy!
Thanks, Alexis! It was fun giving the leaves a bit of a “bark” textured look.
