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.
