Nature supplies us with natural templates in the fall. Leaves. Collect a few examples of different ones that have fallen from the trees. In this project they become beautiful window color designs. By using autumn like colors, you can create this decoration to hang in your room, window or glass door. The light shines beautifully through the colors. You may also choose to use the pattern below for leaves if you have no trees in your area.

Instructions:
1. Follow the basic instructions below for window cling pictures. Lay the foil over the leaves and trace the outlines with the black outliner paint.
2. Once the paint is dry, cut out the leaf designs and punch a hole in the tops and bottoms of the leaves.
3. Cut a thread piece about 30 cm long. Double the string and insert the two open ends through the top hole. Take both ends through the loop formed by the other end of the string and pull through. This secures the string. Knot the open ends off.
4. At the bottom of the top leaf take a second piece of thread about the length of 30 cm and again take the two open ends throught the hole and pull through the loop formed.
5. Thread the 2 ends now on a needle and slip the needle through a wooden bead, through the middle of a straw piece and again through a bead. Go through the hole again of the bottom bead to keep the pieces from slipping down the thread.
6. Allow about 3 or 4 cm of thread and then insert the one thread end through the top of the next leaf. Knot it with the other thread end and cut off excess hanging threads.
7. Continue with steps 4-6 until the desired length is achieved. End the garland with beads and natural straws.
