Fall Leaves Mod-Podge Mason Jar

Who doesn't love Fall???? I mean, I'm so glad I get to post these Fall decor ideas, and this is just one of many.



Mod-Podge is actually both hard and easy once you know how to do it.



Basically, your first step is to gather up your supplies. Here's what you need, and make sure you have enough leaves...
 - Fall leaves (you can get these at Walmart or any other store like Walmart)
 - A mason jar
 - Mod-Podge
 - Sponge brush
 - Paper plates

For extra decoration, you can add...
 - A candle, for the inside
 - Kernels
 - Twine

Here's how you make it:
 1. To be clean with you work, place your Mod-Podge on top of a paper plate.
 2. Now take one of your fall leaves, and once you know where you want it on the jar, place the leaf on the area of your choice and carefully Mod-Podge over it using the sponge brush.
 3. Now repeat process until the entire jar is covered in Mod-Podged leaves.

 (Here's a tip!)
 Mod-Podge will dry the way you stroke the sponge brush across the leaves, so be sure to make clean, neat strokes with your brush. Mod-Podge also dries quickly, so don't be too meticulous. The finished result will be Ok. If it doesn't turn out the way you want, you can easily Mod-Podge over it again.

 4. After your mason jar has completely dried, you can now pour you kernels into the jar - but be sure to NOT fill it completely.
 5. Now place candle (preferably a small one) on top of the kernels, and make sure everything is snug and tidy, so the candle won't move around much.
 6. With twine, wrap around the top of the mason jar and tie in a small knot or bow, of your choice.

When you're finished, you can marvel at it, if you want. I know I did. They're really pretty and yet simple at the same time. So there you have it. Mason Jar Mod-Podge.
