Let me show you how easy it is to make a gorgeous DIY fall leaf garland with felt and an embossing or cutting machine. You can also use scissors to cut out the leaves.

Welcome friends! Today is our monthly Create With Me challenge hosted by Samantha from Little Bits of Home.
At the start of each month, we ask YOU to vote on what material we should use in our next Create With Me Challenge. Then we share our projects using the material you voted for! It is so much fun to see what everyone comes up with!
This month you voted for felt, which is great because it is so versatile and I just happened to have felt already in my craft stash! No surprise there, right?
Just to let you know the Create With Me Challenge is going to take a little break for the Holidays, but we will return with fresh idea for you in January!
For this month’s challenge I decided to make a quick and easy Fall Leaf Garland. Here is a simple tutorial:
Fall Leaf Garland
Supplies
- Sizzix Big Shot Cutting/Embossing Machine
- Sizzix Bigz Die, Leaves
- Ivory Felt
- Natural Jute Twine
- Hot Glue Gun
If you don’t have a cutting machine, you can just cut Leaf shapes using scissors. The Sizzix Big Shot just makes it easier. I have had this little machine for many years and still use it quite often.
Once you have the leaves cut just hot glue them to twine and you are done! See how easy that was? You could use different color Felt if you like. The possibilities are endless!

I love anything with leaves and garland. This is just so cute and did I mention that I love felt too?

I love how elegant this looks against the rustic window. The leaf die looks like it will come in handy. I have the Cuddlebug by Cricut and I can’t believe how much I use it.

I really like that you used white felt instead of colors for the leaves. I am considering buying a Cricut this year and projects like this are great to try out. #HomeMattersParty
