Glittered Fall Leaves
Decorating with Fall Leaves
We are a little sad to see Halloween go with all the fun colors, decor, costumes, candy, and more😂😉. We are glad that we still have another month of fall to enjoy though. And enjoy it we will! With MORE fall glitter crafting. Our latest craft creation, glittered fall leaves.
We used maple leaf wood cutouts plus glitter to make these beautiful leaves. There are so many ways to use them in decorating your home. Add a bit of fall flair to your home, a thanksgiving tablescape, or a garland. This is a simple project that is sure to bring a touch of fall sparkle to your home. Plus, there are so many color combos that could be used to match your current decor or create a custom decor look!
