I really love decorating for fall and Christmas. It's my absolute favorite time of year. I love pumpkins, apples, cider, trees, wreaths, lights. All of it! I got this project over from cupcakes and cashmere. I'm going to say I ended up not being crazy about this. Paint and spray paint is easier and I think comes out nicer to be honest. The gold leaf was very hard to work with, and the spray glue was a complete tacky disaster. And it did not come out as polished as I would have liked. But it was an interesting thing to do.
You will need gold leaf (found at Michaels or amazon)
Spray glue
A foam brush
Small pumpkins
Painters or sketchers tape
Newspaper
