What you Will Need:

Step 1:

Open up Cricut Design Space and use the search bar to search for a leaf. I ended up using the leaf from the Mother’s Day Bouquet cartridge. I resized my leaf to 2.5 x 3.”

Step 2:

Use the bright colors from the Cricut felt sampler packs to cut out your leaves. I used 1 sheet of pink, green, turquoise, white, light blue, mint, and light pink.

Step 3:

Once you have all your leaves cut out use a hot glue gun to shape the leaf. Add a tiny drop of glue at the bottom of the leaf and pinch the sides together. Continue gluing all your leaves together.

Step 4:

Once you have all of your leaves put together it’s time to create your garland. Use a piece of twine (or ribbon) and measure the length of your table so you know how long you will need to make your garland, remember to leave a little bit of slack so you can twist and wind it through your table decor. Glue the leaves in alternating colors and sides to the twine.

Step 5:

Run your colorful leaf garland along the table to create a cheerful table runner for your holiday dinner party.

In addition to this decor I also created some colorful and modern Christmas trees using the same basic tutorial for the painted wood mountain blocks I made a while back. I used bright DecoArt American acrylic paint to paint these the same colors as the DIY Merry and Bright Christmas Chargers. I created a few ombre-style trees and added simple polka dot “ornament” decorations to others. Combined with the DIY colorful Christmas ornaments and the DIY colorful felt leaf garland this Merry and Bright table setting is bursting with fun.

To finish out the bright and merry table setting I made colorful leaf napkin holders with the felt leaves and pom poms. And also added each guest’s name to a leaf that was then attached to simple party favors that also served as place cards for each guest.
