DIY Fall Branches

Whenever I decorate for each season I tend to find that my decor is missing something.

But, I don’t want to spend money to solve the problem so I try to figure out how I can make it work with something I already have or with something I can make myself.

Such was the case with my DIY fall branches.

My mantel needed a little height because of my 20-foot ceilings.

So I went out in to my backyard, pulled some dead branches off of my oak tree and got to work with some faux leaves I already had and some hot glue.

It’s a super easy craft that takes just a few minutes.

But, I will warn you…it’s easy to get burned.

Keep a small bowl full of water with ice cubes nearby.

When you get burned you can quickly submerge your finger and avoid further damage from the hot glue.

Even with a minor burn on my finger, I love this craft.

I think it gave a big impact for no money.

Love that!

Here’s to doing it yourself!
