Craft a dried leaf garland for a unique Halloween touch! Our step-by-step tutorial makes it super easy to make your own beautiful garland.
Dried Leaf Garland for Halloween
With autumn’s arrival, comes the vibrant display of its breathtaking palette – reds, oranges and golden yellows that coat our streets and sidewalks. These leaves don’t just belong on the ground though; they can be transformed into stunning pieces of home decor.
Why not bring some of that fall beauty indoors with a unique, DIY Halloween garland made from pressed leaves? It’s a great way to decorate a mantel, buffet table, or even hang it around a door way.
Because you are using collected leaves from outside, this is a very affordable craft project. So let’s get to it so you can make your own gorgeous dried leaf garland.
