Essence of Fall Nature Luminaries
These beautiful natural luminaries will complement any fall decor.
- Several Colorful Leaves
- Glass votive Holder
- White Tissue Paper, torn into 2″ strips
- Craft Glue
Gather several pretty leaves with varying colors in them. Place them on a sheet of wax paper and cover with a heavy book/object for 1 hour to flatten them. | |
Spread a layer of craft glue and adhere the leaves into place. Allow to dry. | |
Mix 1 T. Craft glue & 1 T. Warm water to create a decoupage paste/glue. | |
Apply tissue paper pieces, 1 at a time, “painting” them on with the decoupage glue. Overlap the pieces until the entire votive is covered. Overlap the lip/edge of the votive going approx 1/4 inch into the glass. | |
Be sure to thoroughly decoupage ALL of the tissue paper. | |
Dry overnight. To use, insert a tealight and Voila, Natural Luminaries. |
Please Note, Candles should not be left unattended.
always a neat idea to do for the fall.
