Fall Garlands

Fall autumn garland that’s already made saves time, but you can add a personal touch to your space by creating your own. Start with a pre-made fall leaf garland in maple, magnolia, or pine leaves for a lush base. Then, choose a few stems of your favorite fall faux plants, such as winterberries, clematis, nasturtiums, marigolds, asters, zinnias, or calendula.

Using sturdy scissors or craft shears, snip or pluck the buds off the floral stems. Lay the pre-made garland along a tabletop, then arrange the faux flowers however you like, dotting them in a pattern or grouping them in clusters. Add a few drops of hot glue to the back of each flower and press gently to adhere it to the garland. Voila!

Fall mantel garland often needs no hooks or hardware. But if you don’t have a fireplace mantel or want to get more creative, here are a few other methods for hanging fall garlands:

• Anchor them with clear zip ties, ribbon, or craft twine. Make sure not to cinch the garland too tightly, and leave ample swag between each anchor point.
• Use removable adhesive hooks. This is a great way to coordinate garlands with fall wreaths for extra door appeal.
• Secure them with floral wire, which the greenery can camouflage.
• Tie them with fishing line or cable ties that organize electrical cords.
• Try spring clamps, great for draping garland across something that fits the width of the clamps, such as the top of a bookcase.
• Wrap them around available fixtures, such as the chain and rim of a dining room chandelier.

Fall leaf garland is surprisingly versatile. While people often drape garland along a mantel, bookshelf, or banister, fall garlands can go anywhere you want to draw the eye, such as: Along the top and sides of a mirror in the living room, bedroom, bathroom, or entryway. Framing a window, using a separate tension rod to hold the garland or wrapping it along a curtain rod. Sprucing up the backs of dining chairs. Placed along the center of a table or woven around a centerpiece. Fall garlands can make a statement all their own or complement a room’s other touches, such as fall pillows and fall throws .
