The last two weeks have been quite a bit of a roller coaster of emotions and non stop doing of things. My daughter’s birthday is on Halloween, and we are having her Star Wars birthday party this Saturday, so I have been preparing the house for the 50+ people coming in a few short days. This week has also brought a new shipment of laptop bags (you can see and buy *wink,wink* the new black and white camera laptop bag here), a few business hiccups with other companies copying my laptop bag designs and selling them at half the price, building of a new website (www.kailochic.com), a Friendsgiving party styling (coming to the blog next week), a hot cocoa bar styling, not to mention preparing and sewing product for my Holiday craft shows. So, you could say that I have been quite distracted, so please forgive my lack of post yesterday and the late post today.

That being said, I love these cute copper leaf drink stirrers I put together for my fall bar cart. I found these real copper leaves at Paper Source and knew they would be perfect for a fall craft. A little hot glue, a few plain drink stirrers, and some embroidery floss later and I have the cutest copper leaf drink stirrers. And now you can too, and I will show you how!

The Supplies:

• Copper Cassini Leaves 
• Plain drink stirrers
• Hot glue
• Colored Embroidery floss

The process is literally as simple as gluing a leaf to the top of the drink stirrer and then wrapping the base of the stem and stirrer with the embroidery floss and then securing it with a tiny dab of hot glue.
