Fall Foliage Table Runner

Materials:

length of brown felt, appropriately sized for your table
hot glue and glue gun
artificial leaves (fall colors)

1. Pull the artificial leaves from their stems. Hot glue onto the felt rectangle (figure A).

2. Continue overlapping and gluing leaves until the felt is entirely covered.

Fall Harvest Candleholders

Materials:

small fruit picks
copper ultra-fine glitter
tacky glue
small paintbrush
manila file folder
brown floral tape
wire cutters
candlestick
2-3" wide wire-edged ribbon

1. Glitter the fruit picks by applying a small amount of Tacky glue to small areas of the fruit. Shake glitter onto the glue, working over a manila file folder (figure B).

2. Use the folder to funnel the excess glitter back into its tube.

3. Gather three fruit picks together. Bind the picks together with brown floral tape that has been stretched to activate the elastic. Clip the ends of the picks with wire cutters.

4. Gather another three fruit picks together and bind with floral tape. Clip the ends of the picks with wire cutters.

5. Bind the two groups of picks together, facing one another so there is fruit in all directions (figure C).

6. Repeat to make another two-way fruit bundle.

7. Tie both fruit bundles on either side of a candlestick with wire-edged ribbon.

Fall Harvest Door Wreath

Materials:

grapevine wreath
feather picks
medium to large fruit picks
copper ultra-fine glitter
tacky glue
small paintbrush
manila file folder

1. Glitter the fruit picks by applying a small amount of Tacky glue to small areas of the fruit. Shake glitter onto the glue, working over a manila file folder. Use the folder to funnel the excess glitter back into its tube.

2. Allow the glue to dry and insert the picks in the wreath. Add feather picks.

3. Tie a bow with wire-edged ribbon. Attach a hanger by forming a loop of ribbon at the top of the wreath (figure D). Secure with glue.

4. Attach the bow. Allow the glue to dry and hang the wreath.
