The end result of the fall leaf jar DIY.

To make this super cute jar you will need: Modge Podge (matte or gloss it's your choice), A couple mason jars, 6-7 leaves for each jar (that is for one layer if you want more just multiply), Sponge brushes, and a tea light for each jar

To make this super cute jar you will need:
Modge Podge (matte or gloss; it’s your choice)
A couple mason jars
6-7 leaves for each jar (that is for one layer; if you want more just multiply)
Sponge brushes
Tea light candle for each jar

To begin, separate your leaves into piles. You could do this by size , shape or color. This is completely up to you. Once you have done that make sure your jars are completely clean. If they aren't the leaves won't stick.

 Next, take a thin layer of Modge Podge and spread it on to a leave and a spot about the size of the leaf on the jar. Wait until both become sticky. (You can tell with your fingers) Once sticky place the side of leaf with Modge Podge on it, onto the spot on the jar. Use yours fingers to press it into the jar, inside to outside. Hold until it feels secure enough to dry on it’s own. Some take longer than others, be patient.

Repeat until you are satisfied with the look. Then place a tealight inside the jar, light in a dark place, and enjoy!
