How to Make an Easy Fall Leaf Garland

Happy September!  It’s hard to believe it’s already here and almost time for the Fall Fairy again!  I jumped the gun just a little bit and made this new fall leaf garland last week.

How to Make a Fall Leaf Garland

I found the wreath on the left at a thrift store last fall.  I think I got it at the end of the season.  They were marked down to $2.  It wasn’t very full.  You could see the plastic stems sticking out through the leaves.  All along I was planning to rip it apart for something.These are the flowers I started with to make my fall leaf garland

Using my wire cutters, I snipped off each leaf right at the base.

Clip the leaves with wire cutters

The flowers just pulled off so I didn’t have to cut them.  I ended up with separate stacks of leaves, berries, small flowers, and large flowers.  (Keep watching the blog this fall, you’ll probably see these in some different projects.)

Separate stacks of leaves, flowers, and berries

At this point, I forgot to keep taking pictures!  I cut a length of seam binding and just ran a straight stitch down the center, adding one leaf at a time as I went.

    Great idea, I love this garland and needed something like this in my living room for fall decor. We’re still re-decorating for fall so I’ll have to try this, so simple, thanks and pinning!

    i did try the garland with the clear nylon thread and it’s so cute! i found packages of silk maple and oak leaves at jo ann’s on sale for a little more than a dollar each. three packages made two garlands. for one garland i overlapped the leaves to make it wider and fuller. i just sewed the leaves end to end for the second one. easy peasy!
