If you guys thought my gilded pumpkins project was kindergarten-level, this project is downright pre-school.
I literally walked outside, cut off some low-hanging branches from one of the trees in our yard and spray-painted them gold. That’s it. The only way I could’ve made this project any easier would be if I found some branches lying on the ground.
I wish I could tell you I painstakingly gold-leafed each and every, well, leaf, but really.
After the paint dried, I stuck the branches in a jar and called it good.
Doesn’t get much easier than that, amiright? I’ll be back to reveal the full Fall mantel makeover, but until then, happy Fall, y’all!
Are you on Instagram? I am! Let’s be friends. It’ll be fun.
Pin it for later!
Preschool level is right on my level. 🙂 These look amazing — I think that vase is totally elevating them like twelve more notches too. Yay, fall!
Hi Jen
Glad to have stumbled upon your blog! Would you mind sharing with me the script font you used for
“Gilded branches”? I love it!
Thanks!
Elaine
Thanks, Elaine! The font is called “Bombshell Pro.”
Did you prime these first?
Nope, I used just the spray paint!
What is the name of the Spray paint? It looks fabulous! Thank you,

Hi, if you wanted these leaves put on a canvas and framed would you recommend to ‘dry’ the leaves first?
Thanks for sharing. It’s useful
I believe that with the information you share, it will bring a lot of value to the readers and I hope that they will absorb the good and useful things.
I’m happy to have found your blog by accident. Can I have the font you used for the script?
