We wish we'd spotted this in time for Thanksgiving, but this newspaper leaf garland just might work for the rest of the season, too. If you're one who relishes autumn leaves, making some of your own out of reused newspaper is just the way to hold on to them a bit longer than they actually stay on the trees.

You know, we've even convinced ourselves that this could be a wonderful garland on the Christmas tree. We're imagining a whimsical woodsy look. We love the use of newspaper here: the lightweight material would flutter with the slightest movement and the printed black words on white lends this garland a subtle graphic look.

For the complete how-to, whether you put it to use now or at the start of next autumn, go to Life with Little Ones.
