3: Trace Leaf shapes onto felt. I chose felt in 4 different fall colors. I used a white pencil to trace the leaves onto the dark felt colors.
5: Using an embroidery floss, stitch the leaf veins onto each leaf.
I used a gold colored floss which I thought was a little thick, so I pulled 3 strands out of the floss to make it easier to stitch. You could save some time, and use a gold glitter glue or fabric paint to make the leaf veins instead.

ReplyDeleteI feel that Thanksgiving usually gets lost in the time between Halloween and Christmas. But this garland is so cute (and simple, too!) that I just might have to delay the icicle lights for a little while. :)
