Working on our fall garland. Last week we did some pumpkins, now for some leaves. If you have some beads this would be beautiful hanging in your house. Leaves made in cotton can also be coasters or appliqués.

Tuesday the 18th you can choose to bring cotton or acrylic for this project. If you use cotton, these pumpkins would be great coasters. If you use acrylic you can use them as appliqué and put them on your clothes a T-shirt, a sweatshirt, on your jeans and have a great fall outfit.
