Jessica Hord shows RightThisMinute host two amazing Fall leaves inspired craft ideas.
Leafy Candle HoldersYou'll Need:
-- Mason Jars (Don't use jars that have any ridges or writing on the outside as it won't allow the leaves to lay flat.)
-- Mod Podge (I used Satin Mod Podge.)
-- Sponge Brush
-- Real or Fake Leaves
-- Raffia
-- Candles
Instructions:
1. Clean the outside of the jar.
2. Put a layer of Mod Podge down on the jar & let it get a little tacky.
3. Press a leaf to the Mod Podge on the jar and then put a layer of Mod Podge over the leaf. Continue layering the leaves until you've covered the jar.
4. Let it dry & then tie raffia to the rim of the jar. Stick candle or whatever you'd like to stick inside because you're done!

Twigs & Leaves Thanksgiving Centerpiece
You'll Need:
-- Thin Branches
-- Glitter Spray Paint
-- Scissors
-- Twine
-- Double-Sided Scrapbook Paper in Different Colors
-- Pencil
-- Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks
-- Something to Use as a Vase
Instructions:
1. On a piece of cardboard draw the outline of a leaf with a small stem. (I looked at leaf clip-art for help.) Cut the leaf out and use as a stencil for drawing leaves over and over on your different sheets of scrapbook paper. Cut leaves out.
2. Gather twigs and lay on cardboard (or something you don't mind getting glitter all over) outside and spray with gold spray paint, making sure to get all sides.
3. Once twigs are dry, take one twig at a time and choose where you'd like to place the leaf -- hot glue the stem of the leaf to the top of the twig branch.
4. Wrap twine around the leaf stem, after it's glued, and secure the end with a tiny drop of hot glue. Continue until you have the amount of leaves you'd like on the twigs. (I chose to put one leaf on each twig.)
5. Arrange the twigs in your vase and you're done!
