How to Make a Mod Podge Leaf Garland

Learn how to make a Mod Podge Leaf Garland in this craft tutorial, using colorful fall leaves coated in Mod Podge, and twine to hang them!

Use our Mod Podge Leaf Tutorial to coat one side, and then the other of the fall leaves - letting them dry in between.
You can use Gloss or Matte Mod Podge, depending on the look you prefer.
Gloss Mod Podge is very shiny and gives the leaves a glossy appearance.
The Matte version of Mod Podge isn't truly matte, but it's much less shiny than the Gloss.
Cut a long piece of twine for the garland string, tie loops at each end of the garland, and hang the string up.
Open up the strands that form the twine to make a small hole.
Slip the stem of a leaf into the hole and pinch the twine to hold the leaf stem.
The leaf is so light, it should stay in place in the twine.
Repeat for all of the leaves along the length of the twine!
This is the easiest method of attaching leaves to the twine, but it's not very durable. The leaves can easily be pulled free of the twine - keep this in mind.
If you want your garland to be more durable, you could secure the leaves in the twine with glue so they are harder to remove and won't fall out if they are bumped.

I used 6 leaves for my small mantel's garland. Gather extras so you don't run out!
You can use Glossy or Matte Mod Podge, depending on how much shine you want your leaves to have.
If you don't want twine (or don't want to use it), you can use cotton string, thin rope, or even yarn as the hanging string!
