Updated September 2024
We love using the fall leaves that are in abundance this time of year for all kinds of crafts. And we love even more when we can use those crafts to add some lovely Fall decor to our homes!
This Autumn leaf bunting is one of many fall leaf garlands that we’ve made. It is so easy and fun to make and looks so pretty hanging up by a window.
How to Make an Autumn Leaf Bunting
MATERIALS
- Autumn leaves (dried and preserved leaves are preferred, but fresh ones would work, too)
- Wax paper
- Iron
- Kitchen towels
- Twine
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut triangle shapes
First, fold a sheet of wax paper in half, then cut triangles out of it, making sure the folded edge is the top of the triangle. You can freehand your triangles or create a template for uniformity.
Cut a length of twine for hanging your bunting.
- Place leaves on wax paper
Arrange your autumn leaves on the inside of a triangle of wax paper. Place your twine at the top of the fold. Fold the top of your triangle over the leaves and twine.
- Iron wax paper
Place a kitchen towel under and over the wax paper/leaf sandwich and iron on high to melt the wax and fuse the wax paper and leaves together.
- Repeat!
Repeat with the rest of the wax triangles you have a bunting long enough.
We think this lovely autumn leaf bunting hung in front of a window adds a nice touch to your home this time of year.
