autumnal leaf garland.

After Friday’s inspiration post I was inspired to make a leaf garland to add to the decorations for Abi’s sleepover.

Several attempts later I abandoned mission as the threads kept getting knotted in the machine and I resorted to attaching the leaves to the light strings. By twisting the leaf stalk through the wires and tightening the leaf hangs in place. This is the method they used in the inspiration post and I really liked the overall effect…Abi loved it and the room for the girls was cosy and sparkly which suited them to a tee.

The autumnal effect didn’t help them sleep much though!!!!

I will definitely use them around the house again to give a more autumnal feel; especially with the hour turning back and the darker nights settling in.
