What to do with fake leaves
So I got a bit excited make the lana del rey flower garland hand bands but now I've got lots of foliage left and don't know quite what to do? Help me guys!
you could make some kind of xmas reef.
hang them like a mobile.
stick them on greetings cards.
make some leaf jewellery.
http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/twigs I just had a new project working with fake paper leaves from magazines. This would also work with yours!
If you have a wall or maybe by a window, you can glue the leaves to your wall around your window like a vine growing, you can paint over it the same color as the whole wall to give it texture, you would still be able to see it but it would be sutail , or you could paint them a very pale green ,I've seen this done with cut in half plastic grape bunches ,very nice.
If you have enough you can sew or glue them to a green dress for a costume.
You could use them to make a fairy garden in a planter.
I have a hankering to make a leafy canopy for a bed myself. A bit of sparkle can make it look like something out of the faerie realm. I wish I had loads of silk greenery, lol. Lucky you!
I love the canopy idea - my daughter had one over her bed for a while and we did string it with Xmas lights. It got really dusty though....
I just saw a blog on https://www.craftfoxes.com/blog/unique-handmade-cards-with-found-objects that used leaves for greeting cards...perhaps that will work?
What about a head piece? Like a crown. If you wear stuff on your head.
(love your piercings and hair btw I could tell before looking that you're from the UK kk)
