Supplies Needed For This Project

Jute Wired Cord (mine is 7.5′ long)

Brown Paper (use lunch bags, brown grocery bags)

Leaf Templates

Hot Glue Gun

Scissors

Pen

Steps To Make This Easy Garland

  • Print off leaf templates and cut them out. You can do these with any leaf shape and any size. I wanted mine to be big.
  • Next, trace your leaves onto your paper.

  • Cut the leaves out.

  • Then, pinch the center of the leaves as shown in the photo below. I did this to add some dimension to the garland.

  • Next, hot glue the leaves to the “front” of the cord, next to each other, in different directions. You don’t want to see the cord so glue the leaves all on the same “side” of the cord.

  • When you glue the leaves in different directions it makes the garland look fuller and more substantial.
