Over the weekend we took a trip to Ikea and I found some great fall plaid pillow covers. They were only $5 each which was a steal. When I brought them home I decided I wanted to embellish them. |

I had several strands of sad looking garland that I was going to throw away. |

I could of just pulled the leaves off of the stems but then I would have been left with the plastic veining which I did not want. |

I decided to pull on the leaf fabric and it came off of the plastic veining very easily. |

Now the leafs would be able to lay flat. |

I placed the large leaves first. |

After the large leaves were glued down I added the medium size leaves at an angel. |

The I added the small leaves on the opposite angel. |

This is essentially what the pattern looked like. After I glued down each leaf I went back and glued down the edges of leaves as well so that they would not stick up. I wanted them all to lay flat. |

To add a touch of whimsy I added a twine bow and some acorns. |

Not too bad for a non crafter. |

Super easy craft that would even be beautiful if I had taken the time to trace and cut out cream colored felt leaves. The possibilities are endless! |

That's such a cool idea. I just found some silk leaves the other day among some leaves that were raked into a pile. Now I know what to do with them. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you added the silk leaves to ready-made pillow cases. I would never thought of mixing all of the colors together but they look beautiful. Job well done.
