Fall Swag

Click image to enlarge

Designer: Stacey Kingman 

Combined with silk flowers, the paper leaves on this swag create a unique home decor piece that can be enjoyed all season long. By stamping on both the paper and silk leaves I have created more interesting details and a true one of a kind piece. This stamping technique could be applied to a wreath, garland, arrangement, or any other piece that you choose.

Instructions (Print version)

1. Punch forty leaves from patterned papers.
2. Position stamps on Compact Stamp Press and stamp images on punched leaves.
3. Remove silk leaves from bush and stamp images on the front of each silk leaf.

4. Using the Easy Squeeze Glue Gun, glue silk leaves to the grapevine swag.
5. Insert silk sunflowers in the center of the swag and throughout the leaves.

6. Pierce paper leaves with two holes each. Thread wire through holes to create strands of stamped paper leaves. Attach strands to grapevine swag with wire and use glue to keep leaves where you want them. Continue to create strands with 5-8 leaves on each one and adhere between the silk leaves.
