Ideas for homemade autumn lanterns
Materials required:
Mason jar
Autumn leaves
Bastelkleber (Mod podge)
Paint brush
Twine (made of jute or raffia)
Candle
Mason jars are suitable for many crafts and are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. You can group large and small glasses together for a beautiful arrangement. Tea lights fit perfectly in the small jam jars. Pillar candles, on the other hand, fit ideally in large glasses with a wide opening.
This is how it works:
1. Apply the craft glue to the glass with the brush.
2. Arrange the fall leaves in an overlapping manner until the entire jar is covered. Use scissors to cut off the stems of the leaves.
3. Allow the adhesive to dry. Then apply a second coat and let it dry completely.
You can also seal the whole thing with clear varnish.
