A couple of days ago, my blogging friend, Kris, shared a Book Leaf Banner tutorial on her blog. It was just the inspiration I needed to put together a fun project using a couple of my favorite fall items.
Do you like candy corns? I sure do. And do you know if you pair them with peanuts for a snack, they taste like Payday bars? Yum! And candy corns are made from great fall colors!
Anyway, back to the project…
The materials needed for this project are pretty simple:
- half pint jars
- mod podge
- orange, yellow, and white tissue paper
- foam brush
- scissors
When I am working on a project like this, I like to use a sheet of wax paper to keep everything from sticking to my table.
First step, cut the tissue paper into strips. You really don’t need exact measurements for this, you just want to make sure all three strips will cover the jar.
Next, brush the whole outside of the jar with the mod podge.
Then wrap the white and yellow tissue paper around the outside of the jar on top of the mod podge. You can use two strips of white tissue paper if you don’t want the top of the jar to be too clear.
At this point, you will want to add more mod podge around the middle of the jar, then add the orange strip of tissue paper around the jar. Then carefully, cover the whole outside of the jar with more mod podge. Let the jar set to dry.
Once the outside of the jar is dry, add a tealight or votive candle to the jar and enjoy this cute fall decoration in your home!
