So, grab your Cricut machine and let’s get crafting! We’ll cut leaves and add foil to create decorative napkin rings for a pretty place setting. In no time, your fall table will be beautiful!
Supplies Needed To Cut Out Fall Leaves
- Cricut Machine and Cricut Design Space
- Fall Leaves SVG cut file by Jen Goode – Download here
- Cricut Foil Transfer tool
- Gold foil sheets
- Cardstock
- Extra paper and twine
NOTE: This fall project features the Cricut foil transfer tool. However, you can get a similar look using a glitter gold Cricut pen if you don’t have the foil tool yet. Just switch the setting to draw instead of foil in Cricut Design Space.
Step 1: Upload SVG To Cricut Design Space
Upload the leaf SVG cut file to Cricut Design Space. Separate the layers; each leaf includes 3 layers. Hide the middle layer for each leaf and set the layers to cut the leaf shape and foil the line art. Resize so the leaves are whatever size you prefer. I set mine to about 2″ tall.
Step 2: Attach Each Line Accent To Its Leaf Shape
Make sure to attach each line accent to its associated leaf shape. I just set all the leaves and drew lines to attach them as one image. Either way works.
Step 3: Foil & Cut Out Fall Leaves
Follow the on-screen instructions to foil and cut out the leaves.
Step 4: Create Napkin Rings
To make the napkin rings, wrap a napkin with a band of paper or fabric. I used a brown paper napkin for my band.
Next, wrap with twine and tie in place. Finally, add the foil-accented leaves you’ve created. You can’t tuck them into the twine or glue them in place.
NOTE: You can add more interest to your fall place setting by using different paper colors, too. I used watercolor paints to add a splash of color to my cardstock before cutting. You can also print a printable background paper on plain cardstock for extra interest. Here’s a similar leaf place setting with Fall background papers you can download.
I finished off the look with rose gold plastic flatware from Party City. I think it added just the right look for a fabulous fall setup!
This project is really a quick and easy craft that adds a punch of sparkle. Perfect for dressing up the table, no matter the occasion!
Also, even though we are talking about Thanksgiving, this idea is perfect for any fall dinner party or event. Small touches like this will really make your holiday feel extra special!
