Leafy Thanksgiving Plates


So, we bought some hole punches, and we gathered some fall leaves.
Then, we punched holes in the leaves.


They looked like this.Last, we decoupaged the leafy circles onto the backs of clear glass plates. We made enough for all the cousins, aunts and uncles, and grandma and papa who are joining us for Thanksgiving this year. I think we'll also spraypaint the backs. I don't love clear plates. Not sure what color, though... cream? brown? Opinions welcome!
The Kids LOVED helping out with this. And, when they were done, we were having so much fun puching holes, that we made a christmas garland (just glued circle sandwiches around upholsrty thread.). So excited for the holidays!!!

  1. These are BEAUTIFUL! Except I have no idea what decoupage is. It sounds . . . breast-like. But I am sure that is not what you did because that wouldn't make sense.
