Hi everyone, Kathleen here with a fun simple and easy decor project for you. I was cruising through pinterest the other day looking for fun fall designs when I came across this beautiful luminary. This project can be made with real or silk leaves. Even a novice like me found it so easy to make featuring Helmar Decoupage and Craft Paste
Tips: After using Helmar Decoupage and Craft Paste make sure to wipe the rim of the jar and the lid thoroughly or by golly you will have a heck of a time opening it again.
I used an assortment of different sizes and colors of fall silk leaves. I found it helps to take off the plastic veins on the back of the leaves before applying them to the jar. A snip or two on the larger leaves helps in lapping them around the jar.
With a wide brush I hand apply Helmar Decoupage and Craft Paste liberally on the jar then begin adhering the leaves. I repeated this basic step over and over until I was satisfied with the end results. Yes, I did stop and let each layer dry before adding the next layer. I just found it easier that way.
To complete the look I took a nice long length of jute twine and wrapped it around the top using more Helmar Decoupage and Craft Paste. That's it!
Place a small candle in the jar and your beautiful luminary is ready to shine on any table!
I hope this project has inspired you to take those jars out of the cupboard and create beautiful fall luminaries of your own.
