Leaf Luminaria ~ Charlynn Todd



Things you will need:

Paint Brush
Mason Jar
Leaves
Rope or Ribbon
Tea Light
Mod Podge


Step 1.)  Go outside and pick out your favorite leaves to use. You can choose from   many shapes,sizes, and beautiful colors.

Step 2.)  Apply Mod Podge to the front of the leaf by using the paint brush.

Step 3.)  Stick the leaf on the surface of the inside of the jar. You can repeat these steps with as many leaves as you desire.

Step 4.)  Tie a rope or ribbon around the top of the jar. Make sure the mod podge is dry before moving on to the next step.(Mod Podge turns clear once dry)

Step 5.)  Turn the tea light’s switch to turn it on. Place the tea light in the inside of the jar. You can now enjoy the luminosity of your new decor.(Becomes more visible in dark areas)


Over time, the colors may fade, but the beauty remains.



Hint: Don't leave it outside in the rain. The glue will be compromised.
