Nutty for fall decor

This crepe paper chestnut branch would look so beautiful on its own in a vase. Or you can always add it to a fall arrangement. We chose a vibrant orange for our chestnut pods, but you can always choose a different color like pear or fern.

Crafting tips: We recommend cutting this project by hand — it’ll be much quicker than using a cutting machine and you can get the fringe smaller. Also be sure to follow the instructions in the PDF template for cutting! You must stretch the crepe paper BEFORE pinking and fringing when cutting by hand. If you’re using a cutting machine, you must stretch the sheet of crepe paper BEFORE placing it on the cutting mat to cut. If you are only cutting the rectangle shape with no fringe, you WILL NOT stretch the crepe paper.
