Easy Fall Garland

Fall is my favorite.

I know it's not quite here yet, but it's close.

Last night I made some fall garland because I just can't hardly wait to get started on decorating my home for Fall.

If you'd like to make some fall garland too this is what you'll need:

jute:  Home Depot:  $2.24

fake fall leaves:  Dollar Tree:  $1.00

scissors:  in your home somewhere:  free

First, measure how long you want your garland to be and cut the jute about 12 inches longer than that.

The reason I recommend doing that is because as you're threading it through the leaves, it sometimes frays a bit.  So I kept trimming it so I would have a sharper end to make threading it through easier.

***Note:  My mom read this and she said you can also wrap tape around the end of the jute to make it easier to thread through the leaves...duh, why didn't I think of that!

To make the holes for the jute to thread through, I cut two little slits in each leaf and pulled the jute in and out that way.

After you thread as many leaves as you want through the jute, the next step is finding a place to hang it!  Fun, fun!

I used tape to hang mine up.  It's clear.  It sticks. It works.

Happy Fall...
