DIY: Watercolor Leaf Garland

Autgarl11 
 Hello, Hello! I have a fun DIY for you today. Last Friday, I shared on my Facebook Page that my niece was spending the night so we could make some "Craps" together. And since we're smack dab in the middle of autumn I thought a watercolor paper leaf garland would be perfect. Plus…it's easy, peasy!

Supplies: real leaves (for inspiration) twine, books in various sizes, scissors, pinking shears, watercolors, paint brushes and a hot glue gun.

Cut out leaves in assorted shapes and sizes. Be sure to measure the size of garland you want so you make enough leaves. Once cut out, paint the leaves with watercolors and let dry.

 Next, hot glue sets of 3 or 4 leaves together. Then lay paper leaf sets upside down and hot glue twine to the back. If you overlap the leaves the garland will look more full. I may add more leaves to my garland but then again…maybe not. 😉

This craft would work well for other holidays too. You could glitter them for Christmas or make holly leaves and berries and paint them red. Or you could do hearts for Valentines Day or shamrocks for St. Patricks.
 A simple year round craft. Hope you give it a try!
