DIY Paper Garland for Fall
I'm just a wee bit excited about this little fall paper flower garland DIY.Â
I saw the idea on my friend Julie's blog, Less Than Perfect Life of Bliss.
Now, when I see most ideas like this DIY paper garland I think they're darling, but totally skip actually making them.
But I kind of became obsessed with this idea, and had to make it myself.
Items I used for this DIY Paper Garland:Â
- pack of paper (like this one ~ you could use any colors though that match your decor)!
- cutting mat with paper scorer to make folding leaves easier
- hot glue gun
- jute twine
To see the exact directions I used, go HERE and visit Julie's site. I did exactly what she told me to do, and while it was kind of time intensive (it took me between two and three hours), every time I look at my mantle my heart skips a happy little beat!
So I bought the pack of paper at Hobby Lobby for $14.99 – using my Hobby Lobby coupon -making it $8.99 for the pack ~ and since I only used maybe 1/3 of the pack this DIY cost me a whopping $3. Unfortunately, Hobby Lobby doesn't have those coupons any longer, but there are still a ton of ways to save at Hobby Lobby without it!
I mean really, other than my time, at $3 what did I have to lose?
Success.Â
I'm not gonna lie.Â
This one was a wee bit more work than I was prepared for.
I started one night around 9PM, and at midnight was cleaning up the mess.
Eek.
But. . .
I'm kind of in love. 🙂
(It kind of reminds me of something you'd see while riding the “It's A Small World” ride at Disney World. That just makes me happy!) 🙂
I also have this sign board from Amazon. (That one is actually no longer available – but there are some similar ones here). I love it too.
The carafe with wheat is from the Dollar Tree ~ have I mentioned lately I love that store? I found the pom pom wreath a few years ago at Home Goods and it's always my favorite.
Have you made any fall diy projects this year? I'd love to hear what you're up to!
