DIY Gold Leaf table decor

Happy Thanksgiving all!!

 I wanted to share a DIY Thanksgiving table decor inspired by a recommendation from a friend of mine, Rajinder (thanks girl!). 
 
I couldn't find the exact video, but if you click on the link below, you can get an idea of what this decor is about. 


Great huh?!?

Anyhoo, I saw this gold leaf placemat at Party City once and fell in love. However, the price was not all that appealing. Boooooo.

So.... Dun dun duuuun. I decided to make my own with a hot glue gun!

Things you will need:
1) Hot glue gun 
2) Many glue sticks
3) Pam spray 
4) One 8x11 sheet of paper, marker, and tape.
5) Gold spray paint, or your fav color.
6) GLASS oven dish, bigger than 8x11.

Steps:
1) Take your 8x11 paper and draw out a leaf pattern. I just traced the outside of the image above for a quick reference.


2) Now, tape your image upside down in the inside of the glass pan. The drawn image should be visible when you flip the pan upside down.


3) Next, spray a little bit of Pam on the bottom of your glass oven pan. This prevents the glue from sticking too much to the glass. (It's easier for removal later)

4) Connect your hot glue gun and go to town! I started off by tracing the outline and tracing little random areas over each other like lace. Make sure all edges touch and over lap.



5) Give it about 30 mins to fully dry and carefully tear off the glass.


6) Spray paint it gold (or any color you wish).


Do as many as you like and place it on the table as decor!



Happy Thanksgiving :-)
