DIY Autumn Lights

 My favorite fall project from last year was this “Blessings Galore!” burlap wreath:

As I unpacked the wreath this year, I realized that I had plenty of autumn-y scraps of fabric and burlap left over. So I set to work, and look what I did in just one evening:

I didn’t need to spend a dime on this happy project, and I suspect that if you dig deep into your craft bin, you’ll be surprised at what autumn-garland goodies you might find.

I opened a Christmas bin to find a short strand of mini-lights.

The beauty of a project like this is that perfection is discouraged; I like the random and chaotic feel of this garland. I ripped the fabric into strips about one inch wide and nine-ten inches long, and I didn’t worry for a minute whether or not the burlap was cut straight.

And there you have it–a lovely mantel display that will bring beauty to your home throughout the fall season.
