Materials:
- Water-based sealer or Mod podge
- Foam brush
- Artificial maple leaves
- Jute twine
- Candle
Directions:
Step 1
The first thing that you have to do is to prepare the maple leaves that you will use, make sure to use the paper-thin ones, then place them in between heavy books, and press for a few days until completely flat. Next, using a foam brush, apply some water-based sealer or mod podge to the body of a mason jar, then place a pressed leaf on that area, and brush it over with more sealer or mod podge.

Step 2
Repeat this process with the rest of the leaves, then go all the way to the sides and the back until the body is completely covered to your preference, make sure to press the trapped air in the leaves using your fingers. Cut a piece of jute twine, then wrap it around the neck of the jar, and tie it into a ribbon. Light up a candle and place it inside the jar, using a scented candle is much better, and you’re done!
