Easily decorate for any autumn occasion with this farmhouse inspired DIY fall garland. Drape this simple wood garland over windows, on a rustic shelf or nestle it among your Thanksgiving dinner centerpiece to bring your fall celebration to life. This DIY Pumpkin Garland features raw and dry-brushed wood elements, making it a perfect addition to your fall décor.
Use a tiny drop of hot glue to lightly secure Round Unfinished Wood Beads to a Bamboo Skewer.
Paint the beads with a flat-bristled paintbrush and acrylic paint. Once the beads are dry, remove the beads from the skewer.
Use a flat-bristled paintbrush and acrylic paint to dry brush the Wood Pumpkin Cutouts and the Wood Leaf Shapes. To achieve the dry brush look, lightly dip your paintbrush into the paint and lightly swipe the paintbrush over the wood surface without adding more paint to the brush. Repeat this process until there is no more paint on the brush. Having the wood show through the paint is the look you're going for.
Once the paint is dry, use a drill to drill small holes in the tops of the painted wood pumpkins and leaves.
String the wood beads, pumpkins and leaves onto a length of Jute Cording and tie the ends of the cording into loops for hanging.
Hang your completed DIY beaded garland from your china cabinet or weave it around Thanksgiving dishes on your buffet table for extra fall ambiance.
