I got the idea a couple of weeks ago to make a fall garland that reads “I’ve Fallen for You.” I headed over to Dollar Tree to see what I could find to make my fall garland a reality.
They had just what I needed.
Two 4 ft. fall garlands
Three packs of fall leaves with wire stems
1. Stretch out the garlands on the table so you can see the space you have to work with.
2. Using a sharpie, write a letter on alternating colors of the wire stemmed leaves to spell out “I’ve fallen for you.”
3. Attach the leaves to the fall garland using the wire stem, spreading them across the whole thing, but leaving room to attach a picture between each word.
4. Print small pictures of your family in Sepia tone. Most of mine were 2″x 3″ so I could print two on a 4″ x 6″ photo paper.
5. Attach them to the fall garland using garden twine.
I love that it brings a bit of those luscious warm colors in and can stay up until Thanksgiving. I don’t want to have to worry much about my decor with the new baby coming mid November.

That is precious! Have a great week.
I should hire you to make such things for me.
Very nice!
I want more clarification on how to implement this method

Love it! I am so stealing this idea – my fireplace needs something and I really wanted a way to display pictures from past halloweens! Thanks for sharing yet another great tip!
The sepia is PERFECT for this garland! So cute Michelle! So how much longer do you have until you have a sweet bundle of sleeplessness?
This is so cute! I really would pay you to make one for me! Love it!
