What You Will Need

  • Sticks and leaves from your yard or artificial ones from a craft store
  • Spray paint in any color I used black and gold
  • Pine cones optional

Instructions

  • Pick up sticks from around your yard. I choose some that still had leaves on them as I wanted a spooky effect.
  • Next grab your spray paint, and paint the sticks and leaves with black spray paint. Then, add a few touches of gold spray paint toward the ends. This will give your branches a spooky effect with just a touch of glam.
  • If you choose to use pine cones, be sure to bake them to get rid of any bugs. Then, spray them with gold spray paint.
  • Allow everything to dry before adding the items to your display.

Notes

Tip: Hang the branches from a wire with some clothespins outdoors to easily spray the entire thing at once.
