Faux Fall Leaf Garland
Grab some faux leave from your fall decor stash and make a garland with them! This project is a perfect way to use what you have - for instance, last year's faux fall bouquet.
- variety of FAUX FALL LEAF STEMS
- brown or GREEN FLORAL WIRE
- sharp scissors or pruner (I used our garden pruner)
If your stems come as a bouquet, you will want to separate them. Cut a few of the stems from the main ‘branch’ of the bunch using sharp scissors or garden pruners. Try to leave the center stem of the bouquet intact and just trim stems from the sides. You can see my main center stems in the middle above.
Using floral wire (or any wire you happen to have – I used jewelry wire I had on hand), layer and wrap two stems together.
I tried to alternate large fall faux leaf stems with the stems of smaller ones in my garland for a consistent pattern.
Once you are finished joining all of your fall leaf stems, gather up the garland and display wherever you want to showcase it – perhaps on a mantel, over a door, or across a farmhouse table.
Here I gathered my autumn leaf garland on our living room mantel, draping it in an asymmetric way.
My fireplace mantel is now decked out for autumn! The fall garland from faux leaves is the main attraction, yet I was able to tuck in other seasonal elements as well.
