Paper Leaf Garland {Tutorial}

Ever gone in search of a last-minute seasonal project, only to find yourself thinking aloud in exasperation, "Why no, I don't happen to have a yard of bright orange denim, four to six ounces of beeswax and a bag of reindeer moss"? Of course there's a time and place for planning out your crafty endeavors and following through, but once in a while it's nice to feel what you're making is as effortlessly attainable as the instructions imply. So, without further ado, I bring you what I promise will be the simplest thing to ever masquerade as a craft project. Dreamed up by me, while trapped in the library during midterm season. It's fun, lovely, minimal and simple. One might even venture to attach the word elegant, but it's just such a humble creation it seems almost contradictory - after all, all you need is plain old white paper, scissors and a few dabs of white glue.

P.S. If you make a garland of your own post some photos so I can include a link to them here. I'd love to see the results! ♥ Gorgeous photos of the finished garland on a rustic mantle at LilyBonBon. ♥ Lovely lengths of garland at The Mouse
