October is the time of year for falling leaves, goblins and ghosties. I purchased several beveled mirrors and some seasonal ribbon from my local Dollar Tree. Tape Technologies vinyl was perfect for decorating the mirrors. Read on, and I will tell you how I made the garland.
You will need:
Styletechcraft: Transparent Glitter Vinyl: Black, Sunflower, Holo; Transfer Tape
Mirrors: Round beveled edge, 5"
Ribbon: Orange and black 2-1/2" wire edged
Dies: Cat, Jack-O-Lantern, Skull & Bones
Die-cut machine
Scissors
Jute String: one yard
Branch or Stick: 10"
Cardstock: Black; cut into three 5-3/4" Circles with pinked edges
Glue Gun & Sticks
Instructions:
1. Clean and dry the mirrors.
2. Cut out a 4" jack-o-lantern. Use the transfer paper to transfer the shape to the mirror. Smooth out any air bubbles. Repeat for each shape.
3. Cut three 5-3/4" circles with pinked edges. Regular circles will work too.
4. Glue a mirror to a cardstock circle. Repeat for each mirror.
5. Cut a 28" piece of ribbon. With right side facing up; fold under the top edge 2". Glue the edges leaving a casing for the jute. Thread the jute through the casing and tie one end around one side of the stick. Secure with a knot. Repeat on the other side. Trim the ends.
6. Cut a V in the bottom edge of the ribbon.
Hang up and enjoy!
