Paper Leaf Garland

I stumbled upon an idea for fall leaf paper cutting online today and it brought me back to the days of paper dolls. This might be a fun one for the kids to work on over Thanksgiving break.

I decided to recycle the ends of the kraft paper I use for the back of my frames...ahhhh, recycling!

I found a maple leaf out in my yard and cut a long strip of paper the same width, then folded it accordion style until I ended up with a 3x3 inch square. I used brown craft paper, but think outside the box with wrapping paper, parchment paper, paper grocery bags, or even pull some out of your printer.


I arranged the leaf so that part of the leaf extended beyond the borders of the paper on two opposite folded sides. Leaving the folded edges intact is what creates the "paper doll" effect when you unfold.



Trace the leaf then cut, being careful not to cut through the fold (see arrows). It's more interesting to angle it slightly rather than tracing it straight up and down.


Pull apart your leaves and you've made a garland! I draped mine over my mantle. Happy Fall!

Autumn Leaf Wine Charms

Let's kill two birds with one stone this year and make personalized wine tags that can double as place cards!

Supplies:
A leaf template
Shrinky dink plastic
Scissors
Hole punch
Colored pencils
Sharpie
Toaster oven
Hoop earring blanks (found in any craft store)

Print out your template and place the shrinky dink plastic over top, shiny side up. Trace the shape with your Sharpie, then print the guests name in the center.


Using the hole punch, punch a hole for the hoop to slide through later.


Cut out the shape then color the rough side with colored pencils, acrylic paint also works for a more intense color (water it down a bit)


Place onto a piece of parchment and pop into a 300 degree oven for about 1 minute as it shrinks then let cool. You can press it flat with the bottom of a drinking glass if you'd like, but I like the edges curling a bit for this leaf shape.


Thread the hoop earring into the hold and place onto the stem of your wine glasses before you set the table. Cheers!


Cheers!

Fall Coastal Patio

For a few years now, we have tossed around the idea of covering our back patio with a roof. We want to make it more like an extension of our home with a sectional and cozy blankets and pillows. Light and airy in the summer and a little more cozy with blankets, candles and fires in the fall.

So, what's the hold up? We don't want to darken our kitchen! I'm afraid that extending the roof will cut the natural light coming in from the back yard so I can't decide.

In the meantime, I just cut and paste some of my ideas into mood boards for the day when I can make up my mind...

Has anyone covered their patio?  Has it cut down on the natural light coming in? Did it bother you or was it worth it?
