This has to be one of the best mistakes I've ever made,"Necessity is the mother of invention." I was carving pumpkins to use as centerpieces for a women's retreat and had one of the pieces of my carving break off after it was almost completed. I decided to cut a hole around my mistake and use my Dollar Tree leaves that I spruced up with glitter to cover the hole. I used hot glue to attach the leaves to both the pumpkin and to attach one leaf to another. I used 2 or 3 flame-less candles inside the pumpkin so that I could leave the top on the pumpkin without worrying about real candles burning a hole in the cover, and also to add a little more glow.
I glued the Dollar Tree leaves together in groups of three, allowing enough room for the flame-less candles to show through to make additional decorations for the table.
