DIY Autumn Leaves Curtain
Categories: Decor, Fall
I made a DIY autumn leaves curtain with Oly*Fun to decorate my front porch. I’ve started decorating a bit early this year, as the cool weather always gets me into the spirit of the season. I enjoy the colorful leaves that fall here in Virginia. I wanted to bring that to my front porch in a long lasting way. This is a project that even a sewing machine beginner could do. It’s straight stitching to connect fabric leaves into columns. I hand drew and cut all of the leaves, but if you had a die or digital cutting machine with leaves, you could use that too. I’d likely use a digital cutting machine, if I had one, so the designs would be my own. If you kept the shapes simple, this is likely something kids could help with hand cutting too. I chose Autumn leaves as my theme, but you could certainly use other designs. I scaled this to fit my doorside window. The same concept could be used for larger window, a door way, or a long garland. If you are worried about the long columns tangling, you can weight down the ends by sewing on beads, coins, or washers to the bottom leaves.
