I like shiny things…

I guess I’m just a girly girl at heart.

Like ruffles and glitter? They thrill my soul.

So, when I stumbled on a pile of my foil leaves from, ahem.. a few years ago {let’s say about 10}, my insides got all tingly.

I had used them as a foil leaf garland for our little Charlie Brown tree back in the day.

It’s quite easy to do.  You just need to find some heavy gage aluminum foil {aff link} like this at Amazon.

 

And one of these guys comes in handy. {aff link}

• Start by creating a leaf template.  You can print and cut one out.  Here I’m just using one of my old leaves.

Here’s the outline…

• Then cut it out. I just used regular ole scissors.

• Then take a small hole punch and punch a hole in the tip.

• And the stem.

• Cut a piece of wire between 2-3″ long.

• Twirl one end tightly

• And stick it through the tip of one leaf…

 

• And the stem of another…

 

• and twirl the open end closed.

 

I hung this foil leaf garland on the Sideboard that Cassie painted for me!

I used glue dots, but they keep falling down.  So maybe something else would work better.

 

Did you see the super quick and easy centerpiece I made?  It’s kinda fun.

 

And Hot-shot just begged for a blog appearance.  He said it had been awhile…

The cat’s back there sniffing at something.  Who knows!

I still have some more things to show you, so I’ll be back.  I’ve been a Christmas Craft makin’ machine this year!  wowz.
