You will like this craft because the use of recycled and autumn materials. We will use glass jars and decorate them with autumn leaves. They will be leaves that have just fallen from the trees and that we will be sticking on the glass walls.
We will also have fun making a small decoration for Halloween. It is a very autumnal craft made with leaves and we can put some very characteristic cutouts for that special night, simulating the face of Jack, our pumpkin. We will have its special touch when we can put a small candle and be able to light it for a magical night.
The materials that I have used are:
- 3 glass jars
- small autumn colored leaves picked up from the ground and cleaned
- fine twine for garnish
- transparent cold silicone
- black card
- pencil
- scissors
- a large brush
- a candle
You can see this craft step by step in the following video:
First step:
For the three mason jars We draw the 6 eyes and the 3 mouths of Jack's face (the Halloween pumpkin) on a black card stock. We cut out the small elements and stick them with the transparent cold silicone inside the glass jar.
Second step:
We take the leaves and we are sticking them around and inside the boats. We apply glue well so that they do not wrinkle when the leaves dry. If we do not get well to stick them we can help ourselves with a brush to be able to reach all the corners.
Third step:
Let attach the decorative string. We take one of the ends and direct it to the right. With the rest of the rope we turn around and go around a lot. We will do it from right to left. When we finish doing those laps, we cut what we have left over and we can make a loop with both ends.
Fourth step:
When we have all the dry leaves we can put our candles and light them. You will be surprised by the autumnal colors that are pierced through the glass and thanks to the candlelight. Another thing that we will love is Jack's face to be able to decorate our corners on Halloween.
