Leaves

I had a bunch of old plastic leaves left over from other crafts.

I modge podge the leafs and dipped them in a plate of glitter.  I also punched a hole in the bottoms of each leaf and made a hanger of floral wire.

I made a garland of leaves with a hole puncher and floral wire and hung them on the railings inside our house.
