Are you ready for Fall???

 

Try making your own garland for fall with store bought tissue leaves.  I found these leaves at the grocery store of all places.  I bought 2 different sets from 2 different stores.  Albertson’s and Vons to be exact.  I randomly picked the leaves to mix them up and simply machine sewed them together by running the stitch down each leave.  I never stopped the machine to attach the next leave.  Just go for it and don’t stop!  You will end up with a garland for years to come that you can use from September well into November.  Do you have an idea of a garland that we could do this same sewing technique with???  Please share…

What a neat and easy idea! I may try that this year! I don't do a whole lot of fall decorating...Christmas is my MAIN holiday, but I do try to add a bit of fall color to my living space from about October through Thanksgiving.
