This leaf bowl was one of the first things I came across. It turned out pretty but I was a little heavy handed on the Modge Podge so there are some white spots. I inflated a balloon and put it in a bowl to keep it from moving around. Then I put Modge Podge on part of the balloon, add a few leaves and Modge Podge over them, layering uncover any open spots to make a bowl shape. Let dry and then repeat until it is nicely coated. Make sure to smooth it out so it doesn’t have white globs of glue.
I used regular as well as hard coat and while it holds its shape, it is not stiff or hard like a bowl. It does make a pretty decoration and could hold candy (if my people would eat it all) or rolls or acorns or whatever.

Next, I did this candle holder coating portions of the holder, adding leaves, coating them, and layering more. Let dry and repeat. Then I added some twine.

I did this jar with glitter and then added a fabric sleeve and ribbon.

To make the Sleeve, I cut a mini charm pack into one and a quarter inch squares, basically cut it into fourths. Then I made 4 strips, each with 15 pieces to cover the with of my jar plus my seam allowance. I added a strip in between and then, right sides together, sewed a backing piece leaving an opening to turn right side out. I closed up the seam sewed the thing into a circle and then slid it on my jar. Then I added a Ribbon. It’s not the most beautiful project in the world, but it looks better than the spaghetti sauce jar that was holding my markers before!Then I had all these little 1.25″ scraps so I covered an empty Trader Joe’s pumpkin coffee can with those.

Next, recovering some coasters. I used some old scrapbooking paper and a few coats of the hard coat Modge Podge.

I still have plenty left. Got any ideas for me?! Leave a comment and let me know!
