DIY: Thanksgiving Home Decor


The way this Thanksgiving themed candle shines when illuminated, makes it perfect for the holidays. Follow these simple steps to make your very own!

Materials Needed:
  • Modge Podge
  • Natural Raffia
  • A Candle
  • Un-Stemmed Leaves (real or fake)
  • Glass Vase
  • Sponge Brush

Once you gather all needed items, use the modge podge and sponge brush to apply the leaves to the glass. To cover one side, it is best to lay the vase flat or have someone hold the vase in place. Tyra Rodriguez helps with this process. She rotates the vase slightly off the surface so I can complete the unfinished portion.

After all leaves are added, the vase will look like this:

Let the modge podge dry for about 30 minutes, or until the modge podge paste is no longer visible.

To complete the look, tie the natural raffia around the neck of the jar, shut off the lights, and place a candle inside. 
Viola! You’ve created a masterpiece.
