Autumn Project - Fancy Pants Leaf Candle

I have had the pages, torn from a now forgotten magazine, in one of my projects binders for years and years. Finally got around to making this last week. Once again, made with supplies from our crafts area.

Leaf Candle supplies gathered....


Step One - sponge paint dollar store candle, let dry - fuzzy but accurate photo...



Step Two - trim freshly fallen leaves from yard.....


Step Three - apply Mod Podge to back of leaves.....



Step Four - adhere leaves to candle, remove bubbles, and let dry....this is the part where you are ready to ditch the whole project.....



Step Five - apply thick, messy, gloppy coat of Mod Podge to entire candle, let dry overnight....


Step Six - admire candle, vow never again to work with Mod Podge.....on to the next project....
