DIY Autumn Leaf Candle Holders

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:

  1. Prep the leaves: If you’re using real leaves, press them between heavy books for 1–2 days so they’re flat and dry.

  2. Apply glue: Using the paintbrush, apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the outside of your jar.

  3. Attach leaves: Carefully press the leaves onto the jar in any pattern you like. Overlap for a cozy, layered effect.

  4. Seal it: Brush another layer of Mod Podge over the leaves to secure them. Let dry completely.

  5. Add finishing touches: Wrap twine or ribbon around the jar neck for extra charm.

  6. 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.
