Autumn is here. Such a beautiful season.
I thought I'd share with you an idea that I found on Pinterest. It was so pretty I couldn't not copy!
I then laid them out on some newspaper and sprayed them with a clear gloss, hoping to retain some of their moisture. I got a bit worried at this point - as they looked horribly shiny.
I waited patiently for them to dry. Using a needle and embroidery thread I threaded the stems...carefully!
Et voila! An autumnal garland for my fireplace. I also collected some pinecones and displayed them on the mantle, when they are dry they too will become part of another garland that I'm working on.
I think the leaves look so pretty, so many tones and shapes to keep such a simple garland interesting.
