Fall Garland

 

We have the most amazing 3 sided fire place in our home. It is actually what sold me on this house. I have decided I want to decorate the mantle/bookshelf part of the fireplace with each season. So yesterday I sat down and cut out some felt leaves using the leaves in my back yard as a template.

I added the veins to the felt to make the leaves look a little more realistic. I really love how they turned out.

Then I decided to finger-knit the garland to go around the whole fireplace mantel. I did this while watching TV since you really do not have to think a lot when doing this. Here is a tutorial on how to finger-knit.

I really love how this turned out! It adds a little fall into our house. It just so happens fall is my favorite season! :)
