Dollar Store Craft Experiment Gone Awry!

I bought a tray at the Dollar Store:

I cut out leaves from the outer edge, freehand:

 I ended up with this:

I brushed some Gold Metallic Surfacer on each leaf:

and then dipped them into Patina Green Antiquing Solution:

From the leftover tray, I cut an oval oval:

Then I cut a ring:

I glued on the leaves, tied a bow and I have a unique wreath:

Now, this is certainly NOT how I thought it would turn out.  I thought the patina would turn the leaves green, rather than speck of black, touches of green and gold, with silver peeking through.  I think it needs a smaller hanger and bow.  BUT, it was a good shot and I will rethink this after the holidays!
