(they’ll appreciate it too) SUPPLIES & MATERIALS USED: (*affiliate links —— many, many thanks for using these! You do not pay anything more, but I may receive a small compensation) Leaves (stating the obvious here) Mod Podge, of your choice * Paint brush — I use a traditional artist’s brush, but many like a thin foam brush or sponge brush Wax paper or parchment paper Paper towels Iron, optional ——- Flameless, battery-powered votive candles Clear, frosted Christmas bulbs Glaze compound, I used Valspar, but Flotrel will work great too craft paint of your choice Leather scrap Rivets ————— Wire sphere frame from Dollar Tree Hot glue gun with low setting Glue sticks there are several options for Mod Podge, gloss, matte, glitter, satin, outdoor, dishwasher safe, and more. And one called Mod Podge Stiffy which is broadly intended as a fabric stiffener NOTE: I used Mod Podge Super Matte (which it’s not, it’s more eggshell or even satin finish) For the globe or garden sphere, next time I will start with a layer of Stiffy and then finish with the Super Matte.
