My Autumn Paper Garland is hanging on my buffet in my dining room. When I created this garland, I originally used patterned paper from my stash. This DIY project lends itself well to any scrapbook paper your have, love or want to buy. The garland also packs away easily and can be used for many years. A decorating win!

Editor’s note: I created this garland using the patterned paper I had on hand.
