Fall Roses

Using leaves from a beautiful tree on our block, I made a bouquet to 'fall' up our place. I used the leaves soon after they fell off the tree so they were still pliable enough to fold yet not too brittle to crackle. Each rose is about 7 leaves wrapped around each other. About a week later, after the moisture all dried up, I sprayed a gloss coat and sprinkled some glitter to give them a wet sparkle. They turned out absolutely lovely. We never see leaves this red in Texas! Definitely keeping these as a souvenir of the Northeast!
