How to Make Fall Wood Slice Garland – 5 Easy Steps

STEP 1:

Paint four wood slices with acrylic paint colors you like. I used gold, light orange, and teal. Add white acrylic paint to get the hue you want and let dry completely.

NOTE: If you’ll be hanging your garland where the back will show, you may want to paint the other side too.

Start by painting four wood slices.

STEP 2:

Next use letter stencils to paint the F-A-L-L letters onto your wood slices. I used black acrylic paint but brown or another dark color would work too. Dab the paint on with a stencil brush or foam applicator to avoid paint seeping under the stencil.

STEP 3:

Use a hole punch to make a hole into silk leaves as shown below.

STEP 4:

String your leaves onto a rope that is slightly wider in diameter than the hole you punched. This will allow you to position your leaves along the rope without them all sliding to the center. If you’re using a rope or string that is thinner and the leaves don’t stay in place, try hot gluing the leaves in place.

STEP 5:

Drill a hole at the top of each wood slice and tie them onto your garland with string or twine leaving a few leaves in between the letters. That’s it, string up and enjoy.
