What you need:

-Fabric Scraps
- Black Felt (I buy felt by the yard, not the individual little sheets)
- Ribbon



Picture
Trace (or have the little ones) leave shapes onto the felt with chalk.

Picture
Cut out leaves and pin to fabric.
I love to use homespun fabric for these projects.


Picture
Stitch around the edges of the leaves using a tight zig-zag stitch

Picture
Cut out leaves as close as possible to stitching .
Optional: Add "veins" to the leaves


Picture
Decide where to hang your garland and measure ribbon
(I used bias tape instead of ribbon)
Stitch leaves to your ribbon.



Picture
Hang
Done :)

Oh so cute! Definitely need to make some of these. I collect homespun fabrics and I am pretty sure I have some felt scraps hiding out someplace :-)

Thanks for sharing this idea!
