We have leaf fall on the street today. An extraordinary number of shades.
And today, while walking with her youngest daughter, she began to fantasize, and what could be done with her on autumn theme... While she is only a year old, it is too early to take scissors in her hands, but I wanted to make a small selection for the future. Of course, there are a great many options for autumn decor, but I wanted to focus on the garlands. Happy viewing!

Look at what a cute garland made of plain colored paper. And I especially like the vertical strings that complement the bottom of the garland, giving it movement.

Paper clips don't even spoil this autumn still life :)

And here natural materials went into action, also very cute.

His majesty felt! I love this material very much. He seems to me very cozy, homely and sincere.

Garland in the rustic style - apples have been stamped on pieces of burlap, or you can stamp leaves.

Another vertical garland made from natural materials.

Autumn romantic decor. Why not?))

Idea for execution from paper or cardboard. Perfect for creativity with children.

Pumpkin is, in my opinion, the most autumnal vegetable!

In the next example, there are no leaves or cones, but I really liked the idea, and the colors are autumnal.

Again the delights of felt. With the kids just right!

An autumn house fence is an option for special occasions!

These are hot coasters, but can be used as a version of garland leaves.

Another option for garland spare parts.

One of quick ways assembling garlands - to sew on a typewriter.

Well, at the end of the publication, I will leave the leaf template, suddenly someone wants to make an autumn garland, but here you don't need to look for a template! :)

In the next post I want to present a selection of color palettes in autumn colors.
Thank you for attention!

DIY festive garlands on the theme "Autumn" made of threads, wool and fabric

If handicrafts are your forte, you know, and turn them into fancy crafts, and you never run out of yarn and fabric, these fall festive garland options are for kindergarten just for you. And yes, such garlands can also be used repeatedly.

We hope that our options for autumn garlands, which you can make with your children with your own hands, will inspire you for an original and elegant design of a kindergarten for the fall holiday, and will give you the atmosphere of the most wonderful time of the year.

Such garlands of artificial autumn leaves look great at some distance from the wall, around flat chandeliers and lamps in the center of the room, as well as curtains in doorways. You can also hang a similar garland over an unused large dining table right up to the surface of the table so that it conditionally divides the tabletop in half along its entire length. Colorful fabric leaves cascading down from the ceiling create the most breathtaking, magical fall look ever.

To you will be required:
- Artificial (you can try real ones - see below) autumn leaves of different colors and preferably shapes - from fabric;
- Sharp scissors;
- Strong (silk or silk-like) threads of a pale autumn shade (any of the palette, better than beige or muted gold - less noticeable);
- Large needle;
- Stationery, or craft, or hot glue (any transparent glue after drying that will not spoil the fabric);
- Mastic for posters (for wall mounting, it is safe for wallpaper and whitewash - "Poster putty"), wall brackets, small suction cups or any other convenient point method for hanging light things from the ceiling (not required if you hang a garland like a panel on wall - you can use a wooden beam for the top base of the panel, on the chandelier itself, or nail a garland to the doorframe above);
- Roulette;
- Decoupage glue as needed and desired (for real leaves).

1. We buy sets artificial leaves in handicraft supermarkets, home and garden stores or various Runet stores. You can also purchase easily disassembled garlands. Choose leaves from fabric of any density, you can have small plastic parts, you can even plastic or with a plastic coating. But the last 2 options are not suitable for curtains, since they will severely scratch the skin and cling to hair and clothes. So, if this is a garland, we cut ourselves a lot of individual leaves with small cuttings.

You can try to work with real leaves, but they are too fragile when dried, and when strung "alive" on a thread, quickly curl into dull rolls and turn brown. Here you can try to experiment with decoupage glue, covering it in 2-3 layers (drying each layer completely before applying a new one) all sides of the leaves, both "live" and dry (very carefully so as not to damage), then you MAY have something- it will work with real fallen leaves. But natural leaves, of course, are also not suitable for curtains.

2. Use a tape measure to measure the distance from the ceiling to the desired length of each level of the garland, write down the data. If you decide to hang a garland over festive table, it is optimal that it ends 30-45 cm before the table top, so as not to get into the food and not interfere with the communication of guests. Do not forget that a garland should not hang over lighted candles and close to them - start a fire!

3. Cut the required number of threads (depending on the density of the garland) according to the lengths obtained in step 2. The color of the thread should be such that it practically disappears visually, being suspended already with leaves. When threading into a needle, leave a short tail of at least 10 cm, since a similar thread during this work very easily slips out of the needle.

4. For each thread, depending on its length, string 4-5 leaves through the center of the latter. Try to immediately determine the point approximately in the center of the sheet, at which it will be suspended in balance. Change the distance from the top end of the thread to the first leaf and between the leaves on the threads, so that the garland later does not turn out to be uniform with wide stripes, empty "holes" along the entire length.

In the place where the thread touches each leaf, apply a drop of suitable glue from below (under the leaf) so that all the leaves are more or less firmly fixed in place. Before lifting and hanging the garland, leave it on the table overnight - until the glue is completely dry.

5. If, in order to hang, you have to move the finished garland to another room, take your time and be careful, because the leaves are VERY easy to get tangled, and besides, they are not well fixed on the threads so that they can be quickly and easily untangled. It is best to pack each individual thread with leaves in a separate bag, a large envelope, or wrap it on a roll in wax paper before moving around the house or, even more so, transporting it to another building.

6. On the ceiling we fix the garland with any in a convenient way... The simplest and most harmless way (for the ceiling - it will not leave any traces behind itself and at the same time can be easily removed) is to use the modern mastic described above in the list (you can buy it on eBay): it is pinched off from the bar, rolled into a ball and the upper end of one thread is placed in it with leaves.

7. Then the ball with the tip of the thread is simply pressed against the ceiling - and that's it! Will hold on! Do not forget to make even large gaps between the threads, since the leaf fall is not very dense. But you can use any other method of fixing to the ceiling. By the way, remember that suction cups fall off pretty quickly from almost any surface, even if they have almost no weight on them.

After hanging about 4-5 strands, step away from the garland and see if you like how it is distributed in the space. In the picture below, 20 garlands of the same length are suspended. Hang up - cut off all the ends of the ropes hanging down after the last leaf on each garland. And if there is a purely aesthetically pleasing reason, you can cut off some of the garlands and even higher, cutting off the last 1-2 leaves.

Supplements:

- At other times of the year, instead of autumn leaves, you can use artificial pink petals from fabric or snowflakes;

- If you have a certain frame hanging above the dining table (with lighting, dishes, etc.), it is easiest to hang such threads on the frame;

- No matter how hard you try, a couple of threads from the garland will still get tangled and / or damaged. This is life, accept this fact with universal calmness, and untangle the threads VERY slowly and carefully!

The current season is able to suggest some ideas for home decoration. Take, when designing your next project, for example, the rich autumn shades of wilting but still living leaves.

Garlands are the easiest way to liven up a space and incorporate natural elements into the decor. Pine cones, leaves, fruits and flowers - all work together to create great pictures on your bedspreads and walls.

Here are some homemade garlands from all over the Internet for your attention, dear guests of the Design Museum!

Colorful fall inspiration

Elsie from A Beautiful Mess made this gorgeous autumn wreath... A gold yarn base runs through each leaf, making this piece of jewelry fun and whimsical. Use floss instead of yarn to speed up and facilitate the sewing process.

Natural garland perfectly conveys the beauty of fallen leaves. For ease of installation and to ensure the duration of the exposure, you can use artificial foliage instead of natural. Then you do not have to worry about wilting of leaves and destruction of the structure.

Chu (Thuy of The Flair Exchange) presents typographic art installations in his garlands symbolizing fallen leaves. Another hint for autumn is the well-chosen copper tone of the letters.

If you want to get more festive mood We recommend an alternative color scheme, primarily a combination of orange, red, and yellow.

Cristina from Remodelando la Casa has created a one-of-a-kind garland. The designer used the technique of reworking the item in such a way that the resulting sample becomes more expensive and better than the original version.

The former wooden wreath received a second life in the form wooden garland... With this reworking of old furnishings, even small touches like a new coat of paint will be able to update your project.

Bring the charm of autumn colors with a colorful fruit wreath autumn harvest... Afke from Afke to Happy House transforms physalis flowers into pumpkin-colored mini lanterns.

Rose from Adore Prep decided to showcase her personal memories by decorating her home in fall style. Shiny cards with pasted photographs reflecting the exciting moments of the author's life are strung on twine interspersed with leaves cut from cardboard in the colors of autumn. Bring such a garland into winter by replacing gold and leaves with blue, white and snowflakes!

Instead of using leaves to make autumn garlands, Kristen (from Ella Claire Inspired) uses old pine cones for her decorating exercises.

Ribbons as decoration of the composition complete the formation of this enchanting project. To add a rustic flavor, jute is used as an element of connection and suspension, imitating shabby burlap.

Armommy's Rey took a multimedia approach in designing her garland. Felt balls strung on a two-color twine are easy to perform. The big letters are made from old books.

Making garlands is easy, you won't spend a day on it! But the role of these decorative elements is invaluable, because they are able to bring enchanting colors and aromas of autumn into your home!

DIY autumn garlands made by children are a great decoration for any home, apartment, school and kindergarten.

For the manufacture of such garlands, you can use the most various materials, but it should be borne in mind where the craft will be located.

Both for the street and for the house, an autumn garland made by hand made of multi-colored felt is suitable. Each needlewoman has pieces of this fabric that accumulate over time and seem to want to be used. Having selected the brightest, most colorful, segments, you can make a pretty pretty autumn decorative pendant out of them.

Such an autumn garland for or for a school can be used to decorate the hall for the traditional Autumn Festival.

To create it, first of all, you will need to cut out small leaves of approximately the same size from each piece. We select the size of the leaves based on what we want to decorate with our product - for the street and a large hall, you can make a garland larger, and for small rooms - a small one. To cut out the leaves, you can use a template or simply shape the leaves by cutting off the extra uneven corners. You can attach a leaf different shape(for example, the shape of an oak or maple leaf), then it will turn out to be more interesting. The more leaves you can cut, the longer the garland will turn out.

Now we fold each leaf in half and make a small incision in the upper part using scissors. We make the same incision at a short distance from the first, placing them parallel to each other.

When we unfold the leaf, we will see two holes on it, through which we will need to thread a sufficiently strong thread or cord. We string all the leaves that we managed to prepare on this thread one by one.

Well, that's all - each leaf took its place in the row, and
