Our mantle was looking a little in “forever Summer” mode so I thought the girls and I could add a little Fall feeling to it with a very easy Fall leaf garland. I came across a few packages of leaves at the dollar store and instantly thought of stringing them up on our mantle. You’ll only need a few items and about 30 minutes to create one yourself and kids can definitely assist!

What you’ll need:

• Fall Leaves all colors (I used two packs of 50 and had some left over, can be purchased at the dollar store or craft store)
• Needle
• Clear plastic thread or fishing line
• Scissors

Directions:

1. This project is so easy! I simply threaded and tied off the needle with the plastic thread, and strung each leaf along the line. (I didn’t cut the thread to size until the end)
2. Pull the leaves apart to make sure that they lay flat and aren’t bunched.
3. I strung about 75 leaves and then checked the length before cutting the thread to the size of the mantle.
4. Tie off at each end and enjoy!
