DIY Autumn Candle
September 28, 2015
With the beginning of fall already here, why not make yourself a cute candle to keep your room smelling nice throughout the season.
The materials you will need are:
- Mod Podge
- Mason Jars
- Leaves (fake or real)
- Sponge brush or regular painting brush
- Rafia (strands of hay-like straw)
- Tealight
- Lighter or matches
Step 1: Cover the outside of the mason jar with the Mod Podge to create a sticky base.
Step 2: Take the leaves one by one and carefully place them on the jar. Smoothing the leaves out with your hand would be best to prevent air bubbles.
Step 3: Once the leaves are on the jar, put a coat of Mod Podge over the leaves to give the jar a glossy finish.
Step 4: Grab about 4 to 5 strands of rafia and tie it around the top of the jar to give it a bow-like dimension.
Step 5: Ignite a small tealight and put it in the jar.
Now you have a festive candle that can be used all throughout fall.
