A particularly effective use of the templates is to create hanging decorations. Attach the cut leaves to strings and hang them from the ceiling, window or door frame. The leaves sway gently in the breeze and rotate slightly - almost as if real leaves were floating down from the tree. These movable decorations bring dynamism to your autumn decoration and are an absolute eye-catcher that livens up any room.

4. Table decoration and DIY projects
