Fall garland | Heart & Home Collection | Anna Komenda
Hello, hello! It’s Anna here with another project made with brand new “Heart & Home” collection. I was recently decorating my home for fall and after putting all the pumpkins and other stuff, I felt I needed something in the upper part of the composition, that felt quite empty. That’s how I came up with an idea for a fall garland. I didn’t want to make it from triangles so I used my digital die cutting machine to cut leaves in variety of shapes.
They are a little bit less than 15 cm big and cut out from a variety of pattern papers both from 12*12 sheets and A5 Paper Stack. I used “Bountiful”, “Leaf litter”, “Fall beauty” and “Gather” patterns. I cut out 12 leaves with papers and another 12 with kraft cardstock. I combined leaves in the same shapes together and stapled them instead of adding glue.
Next step was to make little holes in each leaf to add string, that combines all the leaves together into the garland. I made two holes so the leaves doesn’t spin around on the string.
Each leaf is decorated with a little something – either a flowers from Floral Ephemera pack or elements from Die Cut Ephemera. Two of them are embellished with words from Titles With Gold Foiling – “celebrate” and “together”. I din’t want to overdo it as the leaves are colorful already.
My garland is already hanging in the livingroom, over my decorated cabinets. This is how it looks:
That is all for today! Thank you so much for spending this time with me. See you in November!
