Leaf Garland!


The autumn leaves are so fun for jumping in leaf piles, 


Admiring the temporary beauty of changing hues, 


and inspiring leaf decor! 


Make your own leaf garland! 

Supplies:
Scissors
Hole punch
Yarn
Construction Paper
Fallen leaves

First choose a leaf or leaves to be your stencil (I chose one maple leaf and an oak leaf)


Trace those leaves onto construction paper


Cut out the leaf shapes, and use those original leaves as the pattern for the rest.



Cut out as many different leaves as you may need or want (this depends on the length of the garland and the proximity of one leaf to the next on the garland) 


Punch holes near the stem of the leaves




String onto yarn one and a time and fasten with a square knot 


Hang up your garland and celebrate autumn!
