Original caption

Real fall leaves are beautiful, and did you know you can preserve them with gloss mod podge? Coat one side, let it dry for about 30 minutes, flip it over, and coat the other side. It preserves the color and shape while keeping the leaves plyable and movable. Turn them into garland, ornaments, or use them throughout your fall, Halloween, and Thanksgiving decor without them, crumbling, curling up, or turning brown. #leaves #trees #decor #Home #fall
