Fall Crafts

Hello MOPS Moms! We have just e-mailed our October Newsletter with some helpful information for you! If you would like to see it again, check back daily for updates. Today we will be showing you those fabulous fall crafts again!!

Table Garland


Turn an ordinary white tablecloth into a fall sensation. Center the table-cloth on your table. Just below the top edge of the table, hot-glue or pin gros-grain ribbon onto the tablecloth. From fall-color cardstock and decorative pa-per, cut out various leaf shapes and glue them in clusters to the ribbon. Glue just the centers of the leaves so the edges curl up naturally.

Initial Greeting

Swap your traditional round wreath for a leafy mono-gram. Paint a paper-mache letter and let dry. Hot-glue dried or silk leaves to the front. Shape a piece of wire into a hanging loop, and glue it to the back of the letter.


Autumn Candles

Garnish plain pillar candles with leaves for an ele-gant yet under-stated display. De-termine the place-ment of leaves on each candle, then decoupage them into place. If nec-essary, use tacky white crafts glue to hold the stems down. Cover the candles and leaves with one or more coats of decoupage medium.
