Video Tutorial

Equipment

  • Mod podge (or other glue)
  • Brush (optional)

Materials 

  • A jar
  • Leaves real, plastic, textile
  • Decorative ribbon string, tags, beads, dry flowers
  • Clear spray varnish

Instructions 

  • Begin by gathering all your supplies.
  • Make sure your jar is clean and dry, with no grease or fingerprints on the outside. Rubbing alcohol works well to get it really clean.
  • Prepare your leaves by cutting off the hardtails. You can also chop them into exciting pieces if you like. (If you’re using faux leaves, make sure to remove the plastic veins).
  • Spread a thin layer of your chosen adhesive on the back of each leaf, then mold to the curve of the jar. Let dry.
  • Layer leaves on as you like. You’re shooting for a natural texture here.
  • If you like, add more decorations. Try wrapping some twine around the jar’s top, or tie some dried fruit to the rim for a little interest.
  • For extra durability, spray the finished jar with clear varnish to protect the leaves from moisture in the air (optional).
  • You're done! Place these throughout your home and enjoy the feeling of fall now adorning your house.
