DIY Autumn Leaf Candle Holders
Materials Needed:
Small glass jars (like mason jars)
Mod Podge or white school glue
Paintbrush
Real or artificial fall leaves (or printed ones)
Tea light candles or battery-operated LED candles
Optional: Twine or ribbon for decoration
Instructions:
Prep the leaves: If you’re using real leaves, press them between heavy books for 1–2 days so they’re flat and dry.
Apply glue: Using the paintbrush, apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the outside of your jar.
Attach leaves: Carefully press the leaves onto the jar in any pattern you like. Overlap for a cozy, layered effect.
Seal it: Brush another layer of Mod Podge over the leaves to secure them. Let dry completely.
Add finishing touches: Wrap twine or ribbon around the jar neck for extra charm.
Light it up: Place a tea light inside and watch the leaves glow beautifully in the candlelight.
Tip: These also make perfect fall table centerpieces or gifts for friends and family.
