Our DIY this month is
a leaf garland, perfect for a Thanksgiving decoration. We’ve had a few people
ask about how to make the leaf garland we had in the store last year, so I
thought I’d share where we got the idea. Last year we did it out of paper, this
year burlap, but what gave us the idea is this felt one from the “A
Beautiful Mess” blog. Basically we just cut leaf shapes out by hand from paper in fall colors (and burlap this year), got a big needle to thread the
yarn through and used multicolored rainbow yarn to stitch through each leaf by
hand. We had about three stitches in each leaf. Our leaves were a little “fatter”
than the ones on the blog and our garland was longer. I think we used two Basic
Grey papers and two FancyPantsDesigns papers that we still carry in the shop.
We hope you have a
very blessed Thanksgiving!
