Then make a loop with jute twine and hot glue it to the back of the wreath as a hanger. It’s better to do this before you start adding the leaves since it’s easier to turn it over.</li><li>Using the patterns found<i> </i><a href="http://www.countryliving.com/cm/countryliving/data/leaf-templates-1113.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>here</i></a>, cut 75  leaves from the scrapbooking paper, 25 of each pattern. I cut three at a time to make the process go faster. Then follow the directions found <i><a href="http://confessionsofaplateaddict.blogspot.com/2013/05/frenchy-aged-paper-candle-wraps.html" target="_blank">here</a></i> to dye about 12 of each pattern using coffee. Repeat the directions with the rest of the leaves using water <i>instead </i>of coffee. This will give them a natural look without making them darker. </li><li>Place about half of the leaves on the form in a pattern that pleases you, mixing light and dark. Staple them in several places just to hold them in place. Then gently lift them and secure them with hot glue.</li><li>Add the rest of the leaves by first hot gluing a wooden plug in place and then adding more hot glue on the plug and securing the leaves. Repeat this process for each leaf as you add it. This will give some height and dimension to the upper layer of leaves. I tried to finish with mostly lighter colored leaves.</li></ol><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh64dvrPSUUoAj6djCmKEIz6gmWv-cDyRZPkUq3AsEynRqF7CM8Kjngd_GyNxBLyLYq8MFnUf3C-vKJVKgntTqnEM4__NU9x97lD9WBcDcew5VMqNd6AZMXuR7u56BKYN3h9vJGGglKigv3/s1600-h/Baby%252520Kitty%25255B10%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Baby Kitty" border="0" height="667" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2B97MBbPAPb1AolaGaj9SROmZw1053yrdwG07oQhCOeHFGf2yu_DHKn5GdxWDwYg5pO4cksL-_sT9YWd_mDOQQKbqKCjrCtRs0b8uCGGvzo5DwdQjnicgcLRfQJlpEq69W5AFZiLz57cA/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Baby Kitty" width="579" /></a> I used hazelnut coffee just because I like the way it smells since the coffee smell will stay with the leaves for a few days.
