simple fall leaf garland

Looking for something else today, I found this paper garland carefully wrapped in an unexpected place.
I had forgotten all about it.
I made it last year, likely in October when I took these photos of it on my mantle.
I can remember carefully tracing the leaves from some scrapbook paper and a paper grocery bag (I think) using two small templates I found somewhere on Pinterest.
I know they have machines you can buy that would likely do all of this, but I found it a relaxing project to have on my hands for a few days. 
Tracing, cutting, counting, folding and then finally taping them into position on the hemp cord.
One strand, just long enough to wind itself around my mantle and bring some autumn color inside.
