Fall Decor – Metallic Leaf Tree

I’m a huge fan of pretty Fall decor (like, who isn’t, right?). I’m not however a fan of decor pieces that are fragile and expensive. So, my solution is often to come up with a creative DIY project that is simple and inexpensive. This easy project took me all of about 30 min, most of which […]
