Fall on a string

inspired by the leaves around our home

and due to the amazing sunny and warm weather today

I decided to make a Fall display with the leaves I found during my little walk

and that is also to do something different than quilting ~ for a change, haha

a few weekends ago we cut our tree and I made a little wreth of the twigs

today I took the orange Divine Twine and worked it around the wreth, adding leaf by leaf

by using the twine instead of hot glue, it allows me to reuse the wreth once I am done with the leaves

some of the leaves were so pretty to my eyes

I took wooden pins to hang them on a string on our mantel

to add a twist I decorated a few pins with Japanese washi tape ~ an idea I found on Pinterest

~

by the way, isn't that the greatest thing, Pinterest?

I just started my creJJtion account there and I am already addicted...

it is a great way to keep track of all the wonderful project ideas you find online,

and would like to start tomorrow of course, but somehow I have difficulties doing that

and so Pinterest is my solution!

I got a little destracted there, but here is the Fall display on our mantel

although, I took the wreath outside and it looks pretty happy on the front door as well...

happy late Fall to you!
