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.

MATERIALS

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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 with the rest of the wax triangles you have a bunting long enough.
