Paper Leaf Garland

I have been seeing a lot of garlands done up for fall in blog land and wanted to make one of my own. I had all of the material on hand.......                 
  

       Assorted scrapbook paper

           Material (for bows, ribbon could be used too),

  jute,

  leaf template (bought an assorted bag at Michael's) 

  glue 

     distressing ink (I used tea dyed)

      And this is what I came up with.....

I cut all the leaves by hand, distressed the edges with ink, ripped the fabric to create bows and glued it all to a piece of jute. (I love my pub mirror I have had it for years)

I love how this came out, simple and easy. I just keep thinking of the possibilities that I could do...pumpkins, bats, witch hats or even for Christmas....mittens, stockings or trees.

Happy Crafting !!!!!
