You can let your imagination run wild when designing the garland. The only important thing is that it looks autumnal. In the example, the fairy lights were designed as follows:

- opaque vase or pot
- small birdhouses (or any other decorations)
- large, stable branch with dry leaves and some branches
How to decorate for autumn with the fairy lights:
- Start wrapping the fairy lights around the branch from the bottom. The idea is that the battery pack can be hidden in the vase/pot later.
