diy love { felt leaf garland and my autumn decor }

I am not usually a huge holiday decorator.

I like when holiday decorations are simple and not too over done.

I also like to keep things simple from a budget perspective 

(which seems to be a theme in all my diy projects).

For this years autumn decor, I made a fun felt garland of leaves.

I didn't use any fancy cutting machines for this project, just your run of the mill cardboard cut-out.

I cut out the shape of a leaf in cardboard then traced it and cut with some different colored felt.

I am loving the color combination that I chose with burgundy, gold, and turquoise.

Next, I laced each leaf with a needle and some string to create the garland.

The only other fall decorations that I have up on the  mantle are things

 that we bought from the $1 store when we first got married.

I love using the "Autumn Harvest" wooden letters 

and the funny fabric pumpkins that don't really match anything.

I will probably always use them so I can remember those first days of celebrating things together.

Simple decor, cheery colors, just my style.
