Garland of Fall Leaves

Garland of Fall Leaves Decorates the Front Door

There is usually a beautiful selection of artificial autumn leaves in the craft stores and bargain stores every autumn. The warm, golden colors in a homemade garland of fall leaves can brighten interior spaces, or highlight an entry door, as shown here.

Craft Supplies:

  • Stems of artificial fall leaves (I used oak and maple)
  • Heavy gauge floral wire
  • Wire cutters
  • Work gloves (to protect your hands from the wire when pulling taut)

Craft Instructions:

This garland that runs more than 35 feet was very economical to make and it looks spectacular draped around my front door.

To assemble the garland, lay the leaf bunches out in the form you would like them assembled.  Use our photos as inspiration, but create the garland in the way that looks best to you.

As I went along, I wired a few additional stems between the leaves, that were cut from bunches – as you can see in the photo at left. You could also add in some natural elements, such as pine cones, wiring them to the stems as you go.
