Paper Leaf Garland



Apologies for the terrible quality in photos, but I just wanted to pop in and show you this crafty little number because she’s sooooo easy to make and the outcome is pretty beautiful! (It’s hard to take photo’s in poor light you know!)

I found the above photo in a Country Living Magazine and knew I had to make one. I really love the white/wood look but used what I had in my stash.

I simply drew some templates on card and when I was happy with the shape cut them out. I then simply drew around them and cut them out one evening whilst watching telly :)

After punching holes in them I thread them onto a piece of yarn. This works better than string because it is not smooth, which would just result in all of the leaves sliding down to the centre of the garland. Not cool.

I hung them with twinkly lights and I LOVE how they turned out!

So save your scraps from wrapping gifts, or use old bits of beautiful paper that you couldn’t bear to throw away and get making!

Enjoy and see you soon, thanks for stopping by,
Hayley
