How To Make Shiny Candle Holders

A few days ago Mama, Lulu and I went for a walk and collected lots of pretty leaves, took them home and pressed them in a book.

Yesterday Jay came over to play and we decided to make these wonderful illumination jars.

First we took old glass jars and painted Shiny Mod Podge on the jars.
Then we took white, ripped tissue paper and glued it on the jars.

                                       


Then we added more Mode Podge over the tissue paper and then we glued on the leaves that we had found on our walk.


Then we put more Mode Podge and tissue paper on our jars.
We made sure every spot was covered with glue and paper.


Now it was time to let them dry out.
It took over night for the glue and the paper to fully dry out.



And then it was time to buy some candles and put them in the jars.



The glue looks REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY shiny.




And then it was time to light them up.


It looks really cool!
And the leaves are showing through because there is a candle inside lighting it up.
