A re-post of another favorite autumn craft...
Last week I looked over at my mantelpiece and decided it was in need of a festive autumnal garland. This thought sent me rummaging through my craft supply cupboard where I found some paper which we had painted with watercolors about a year ago.
To create this garland, I cut an oak leaf shape from a piece of card-stock and traced outlines on the reverse-side of the water-colored paper.
Then I cut out the leaves...
And used a 1/16 in (approx. 1 mm) hole-punch to add two holes to each leaf (a 1/8 in / 2 mm hole-punch would also work.) If you don't have a small hole punch, you could thread a needle and use it to create holes in the leaves as you string them up for your garland.
Like so...
And done.
This is so pretty and something most anyone could do for a festive decoration! Thanks for the idea!
