“The leaves are falling, autumn is calling” is one of my favorite sayings for fall. My favorite season is truly fall, who else loves the color of the leaves and the crunching leaves. We have a lot of leaves every fall to rake and it’s a big job, but once we start doing it we have so much fun. I love the kids faces as they play in the leaves. Burlap is one of my favorite decorating materials and I think a leaves and burlap fall garland will look so pretty in the kitchen. Plus it’s time for the Inspire my Creativity Link Party and this months theme is leaves! Visit my co-host to see what kind of leaf projects they created!

Let’s Learn How to Make a Leaves & Burlap Garland for Fall

When I went to Hobby Lobby I was so happy to find burlap by the yard. I bought 1 yard and used about half of the yard. It was only $3.99 a yard and it was on sale. Using a sharp pair of scissors, I cut the burlap into strips about 18 inches long and about 2 inches wide. Then tied them onto the twine. Here is a tutorial for how I tied the burlap onto the twine. After all the burlap was tied onto the garland I cut the frayed pieces off to give it a clean look. As clean as you can get with burlap, but I think it gives it character.

Now it’s time to add the leaves to the garland. I created my leaves in Cricut Design Space™ using my Cricut Maker, but if you don’t have a Cricut their are lots of ways to add leaves to the garland.

Ideas to Add Leaves to the Garland

-Fake Leaves
-Felt Leaves
-Trace & Cut Leaves
-Die Cut Leaves
-Stamp Leaves

If you have a Cricut, here is the project link for the garland. . To add the leaves to the garland I used small clothespins from Joanns. They are so pretty in fall colors, but I think I got a bad batch. Many of the clothespins just fell apart when I tried to use them. I was planning on matching the colors of the leaves and the clothespins, but that didn’t happen.

I hung up the leaves and burlap garland in the kitchen, however I kept looking at it thinking it needed something. For a couple hours I kept looking at it and decided it needed some ribbon. In my ribbon box, I had all of these ribbons. The orange ribbon and the brown fall ribbon with words are from the Dollar Tree and the polka dot ribbon is from the craft store. It was the perfect addition and now the garland looks complete. Just tie the ribbon to the twine in between the burlap.
