DIY: Easy Fall Garland

Over the weekend, I started to add a few more fall touches to the living room and dining room. I really liked the way the garland looked on the wine rack for the 4th of July and Easter, but didn’t find any fall garland I really liked. So I decided to make my own easy fall garland instead. Really, this was so simple and took about 15 minutes.  My kind of DIY!

What you’ll need:

• Jute twine
• Cocktail napkins (mine are a cute fall pattern and a hostess gift from a friend)
• Scissors

Steps:

• Decide how long you want the twine and tie off on either side (hint: I use clear Command hooks). The twine should be somewhat taut as the napkins will weigh it down some

• Draw the shape you want to cut on one napkin – I cut mine into triangles, using a pen to draw the lines.

• Cute out the shape, and use as a template to cut the others
• Split the napkins in half and hang over the twine

And, that’s it! I ended up needed five triangles, but use your judgement on how many you want and how much space you want in between each one. This would also be great on a mantle for a baby or wedding shower. I don’t know about you, but I seem to have an endless supply of cocktail napkins and I love having another use for them.
