Just in time for Fall decorating, try your hand at faux stained glass painting with this lovely Leaves On a Glass Ball Ornament. The leaves are painted on a flat surface before applying them to the ball. Nifty, huh? You can make several leaves and just use the best ones for your project and you can apply the leaves to other surfaces like windows and mirrors. Added to Painting and Fall Crafts
