Falling Leaves
Hi Folks! The feel of fall in the air - cooler nights, leaves turning color and flocks of birds preparing to fly to warmer climes. It's one of my favorite times of year for decorating. I love the mix of colors! This year I'm making a fall leaf spray to hang on a door. I'm using stiff felt ( Kunin Friendly Felt) and Gwen Studios ribbons. I'm cutting the leaves using my Sizzix Big Kick and a leaf die from Tim Holtz. If you don't have a leaf die, head outside and pick up a few leaves for patterns and cut them out freehand. In order to make the flat leaves more dimensional, I folded them in half and sewed a line down the back. If you don't have a sewing machine, hand stitching will work, too. I used hot glue to tack the leaves together. I cut a total of 24 leaves for this spray. Then, I cut off the tails on one of the pre-made bows. I undid the second one and added the length to make longer tails. I also added lengths of grosgrain ribbon in red, yellow...
