Handmade decorations in your home personalize your living spaces and make them feel cozy. This DIY autumn-themed garland is a simple and satisfying project, perfect for beginning or experienced sewists. We will come together in a festive atmosphere, enjoy homemade autumn apple cider and create your own beautiful handmade decoration. You’ll make eight wool appliquéd leaves on tea-dyed cotton squares, hanging from a length of soft hemp string.

You'll receive a project kit with all the materials you need to make this great autumn DIY decoration. You'll prepare your hand-dyed fabric squares and learn how to use a pattern transfer technique and wool to easily make your colorful 100% wool felt leaves.
