Fall Garland Ideas



Cut out leaf shapes from felt in various fall colors, and then cut little slits in them to string onto a piece of yarn.



Cut out shapes of different types of leaves from fabrics with quirky prints in fall colors.

String some pine cones onto ribbon with a hole puncher and metal hooks. You can find cinnamon-scented ones at the store.

Burlap has a great Fall feel to it. Combine leaf cut outs with burlap triangles.
Cut out triangles from burlap, run an iron over them, and paint stenciled letters onto the pieces. Then paint with glue to keep ends from fraying.
Use fabric glue or a hot glue gun to attach burlap triangles onto brown-ball-thingy, and simply cut off the brown balls that are in front of the burlap.
