Autumnal leaf forest
The foliage is a beautiful natural spectacle and makes autumn a very special season. Here are the matching decoration ideas.
That's what you need for the wreath:
- vine leaves
- Flower wire, about 60 cm long
- wire cutter
And that's how easy it is:
1. Cut the wire and pierce the leaves (about 20-30) in the middle with the wire.
2. Form the wire to the wreath and screw in at the end.
You need this for the table decoration:
- Cardboard box DIN A4, blue
- simple printer paper DIN A4
- maple leaf
- Spray paint, burgundy
- silver pen
- scissors
- Paper for the work surface
And that's how easy it is:
1. Fold the cardboard box in half so that the two short sides are on top of each other.
2. Cut along the fold.
3. Fold again in the middle, so that the two short sides are on top of each other.
4. Open.
5. Cut a 9 cm square into the printer paper and place it on the card so that the whole card is covered and the opening is only half way.
6. Lay the leaf in the open square.
7. Spray the card with spray paint.
8. Remove the foliage and printer paper after a short while to prevent it from drying.
9. Leave to dry and label as required.
Info: Use spray paint on paper underlays only in well-ventilated areas or outdoors, wearing gloves and mouthguards.
You need this for the mural:
- Chipboard, thin (100 x 100 cm)
- Acrylic paint (marine, black, white)
- Photocard DIN A2
- Foliage (eg red oak, maple, wine, ...)
- Hot glue gun and hot glue
- double-sided adhesive tape
- brush
- pencil
- scissors
And that's how easy it is:
1. Cut chipboard at the hardware store and paint with acrylic paint. Let the paint dry well.
2. Draw and cut out a large leaf motif on photo carton.
3. Stick leaves with hot glue on the cardboard.
4. Stick the cardboard to the chipboard with double-sided adhesive tape.
What you need for the utensil:
- Durable fabric (100 x 140 cm), z. Eg Art-Nr: 04_canvas140_030 from Stoffen.de
- iron-on non-woven Decovillight (department store)
- Fabric paint
- Sewing machine and color matching yarn
- tape measure
- fabric scissors
- pins
- sewing needle
And that's how easy it is:
1. Cut fabric so that you get three pieces of 100 x 40 cm for the bags. In addition, you need 12 strips 20 x 2.5 cm for the straps.
2. Cut Decovil so that you get three parts 100 x 40 cm.
3. Iron Decovillight to the left side of the fabric.
4. For all strips of fabric, lay the long sides clean and iron over them.
5. Open the fabric strip and place the long sides against the crease. Collapse again and get stuck.
6. Sew the strips together using a square edging.
7. For the pockets, place the fabric pieces with the left side facing up. Now put the two short ends on top of each other and iron the folding edge to form a visible fold line.
8. Open the fabric and fold the two short ends towards the middle so that they both protrude approx. 1.5 cm above the crease.
9. Sew along the crease and iron everything smoothly.
10. Turn the bag over and put the short sides on top of each other. Now sew the sides together with a seam allowance of 1 cm.
11. Turn to the right.
12. Finally, sew the fabric strips by hand to the pockets. To do this, always fix 2 bands directly next to each other at a distance of 7 cm from the edge and about 2.5 cm inwards with pins and then sewn them.
13. With fabric color you can beautify the utensil at will.
