i have another blog off the subject
of weddings! that's okay
though because i love fall!
i was pinning away on pinterest
and came across a glitter garland
with hanging leaves. it appeared
simple enough to make
and my fireplace mantel
was pretty much begging me
to slap something pretty on it!
doing what i always do, i
decided to give it a go!
this is the process i took, but if
you would like to see the original
blog for this project, visit: boxwood clippings blog
you will need:
ribbon [any fall color, i chose
brown], the original blog says to
use real leaves but i used artificial
ones, glitter in red, brown, gold, even
any color you choose, elmer's glue,
scissors, newspaper [not pictured],
hole puncher
first, i punched holes on the top of
the leaves so the ribbon could be
threaded through. [my wonderful
husband helped me with this part :)]
spread glue all over surface of leaf
[excuse the hair in the glue] ;P
sprinkle glitter on leaf over laid
out newspapers and let dry
cut different size lengths of ribbons
and thread through hole in leaf
i made a lot so it took quite a bit of time
before and after
