What you will need: 2 tall glass vases, 2 different colors of burlap ribbon, 2 stalks of fake leaves, 4 bags of candy corn

2. To attach the burlap ribbon, you can either use a hot glue gun or just pull the ribbon tight and used some clear tape. The clear tape actually worked well and there was no mess.

3. Add the bags of candy corn or small white beads from Dollar Tree would work great, too.

4. Add in your stalk of fake leaves. Adjust the stems until you get the look you want. When the leaves turn colors in your yard, you could use a small branch from home, too.
