"Falling" With Glitter Leaves! (Whaaat?!?! Awesome!!!)
Use a paint brush to paint a thin layer of glue (like Elmer's glue) onto a leaf, covering the whole thing. (You can use fake leaves, just rip off the stems, or cut out your own leaf shape from paper!) Then pour on your choice of glitter evenly over the leaf, covering the whole glue area. Pour off excess glitter onto a separate piece of paper and return the leftover glitter to your bottle for future use! You can use a spray sealant to seal the whole thing, or just use hairspray! Voila!

DIY Pom Poms!
Here's a fun idea for your long weekend! POM POMS! Once you start making pom poms you won't want to stop! You can wrap the yarn around your hand like in the tutorial below to make a variety of sizes, or make two round cardboard disks (like CDs or doughnuts) with a slit in each one like in this tutorial! However large you make the disks will determine the size of your pom pom. Try these mini pom poms for variety! These are my favorite ones because they are simply adorable and you can use a fork to make them! :-)
