DIY Halloween Garland

Don't have any Halloween decorations but you have a lot of fabric scraps? Let me help you with that. Here's an easy-peasy tutorial to use up some left over fabric scraps. You are being festive and not wasteful...at the same time. That's awesome huh?
 You need:

Fabric scraps (small amounts of fabric or fat quarters)
Pellon thick interfacing (the iron on kind)
String, ribbon, yarn
Blunt Needle
Scissors
Iron

1. Iron the pellon iron on interfacing to the backs of your fabric scraps.

2. Cut out bat shapes, leaf shapes or whatever festive shapes you choose from your fabric.

3.  Using your blunt needle string your fabric shapes right onto some string.

And your done. Told you that was easy.
 Not into bats? Try making some pretty leaf garland.  It looks so pretty mixed in with your wall art and decor.
