Gather some beautiful autumn leaves outside and make your very own autumn leaf candleholder to use during Earth Hour!
You’ll need:
- A smooth glass jar
- Mod Podge (available from a craft store)
- Autumn leaves (the thinner the better)
- Paintbrush or sponge brush
- Raffia or ribbon (optional)
- Scissors
- A candle
Step 1: Apply plenty of mod podge both under and over the leaves. (Tip: Mod podge becomes stickier as it dries, so you might want to wait until it’s a bit sticky.) Place leaves onto the jar.
Step 2: Continue until your jar is covered with leaves and allow to dry for 1 to 2 hours.
Step 3: Tie raffia or ribbon to the top of the jar to finish it off.
Step 4: Place your candle inside the jar.
Remember to ask an adult for help when lighting your candle. Fire can be dangerous!
