My first garland to ever make!

Today I made my very first ever garland. I cut branches off of the magnolia trees around my yard and then wired them together and then spray painted them gold. So pretty and creative. Also this is a great inexpensive way to decorate for the holidays, well that is if you are a good spray painter and you are not wasteful because it can get expensive really quickly if you aren't careful. I will take pics with my phone tomorrow and post them for you to see. I did not come up with this idea on my own I must admit... The lady who was selling the idea to me I thought was a bit crazy to be honest with you. I was thinking magnolia tree leaves? REALLY?? OOOOKKKK.... and then we made 1,2,3... and I love it!
