Autumn Tealight Holders

Leaf tealight holders seem to have been on Pinterest since it began!! 

I've tried to make them once before with real leaves and it was a disaster! They wouldn't stick and/or fell apart. It was one big sticky mess!

So, when I spotted a pack of fake leaves at The Works I thought I'd give them another go! Here's the results!

What to try them too? You will need......

• Glass jars
• PVA glue - £1.00 @ Poundland (I use Mod Podge but any will do, as long as it dries clear)
• Leaves - £1.00 @ The Works
• Paint brush
• Container/paper plate if you can't use the glue from the pot
• Paper/cloth to protect your table from glue

First make sure your jars are clean and label free. Squeeze out some glue into the container if you can't use it straight from the pot.

One by one glue the leaves to the jar, layering them as you go. 

Leave to dry.

Add tea lights and you're done! It's that easy!

If you want a very shiny finish you can do a topcoat of PVA too but be sure the leaves are dry beforehand to avoid them moving around.

Completed these tealight holders give a lovely autumnal glow. I've added ours to our autumn wreath for a lovely table centerpiece.

Happy crafting!
