DIY Projects

For all you die-hard crafters out there, here are a few great DIY projects you can do with oversized silk leaves.

2. Take three large leaves and trim the stem. Frame each leaf in between two sheets of glass to create a simple triptych that brings the outdoors in.
3. Trim away the stem and place it on a large serving platter to act as a colorful backdrop to a beautiful cake.
