Fall Tapestry

Right around Thanksgiving we made this beautiful fall tapestry that I failed to tell you about.  It's hanging outside the classroom door and attracts many passerbys. 

I had picked up several packages of silk fall leaves at the craft store with no real plan, but then it hit me - a tapestry!  The kids had fun sewing silk fall leaves onto the tapestry table.

 They were easy to poke through using blunt yarn needles and various fall-colored yarn.

 At the end, we added a stick for a hanger.

I have other plans for tapestries like these - would snowflakes work?  I can already envision a heart-themed tapestry for Valentine's Day!
