Materials:
- 1 balloon
-Sponge paint brush
- Mod Podge
- Fabric leaves
- Candle
- Fairy lights (battery operated)
-Hot glue gun (optional)
TIPS-
1. Buy a large pick with multiple leaves or a garland and cut each of the leaves off to use for your leaf bowl.
2. Peel off the plastic veins of your leaves so that they will adhere to the balloon easier.
3. Allow to thoroughly dry, be prepared to have some wet glue on the inside of your bowl once you deflate your balloon. I added leaves to cover the wet glue and it helped to add more structure to my bowl.
4. I finished by hot gluing leaves on the outside that were a little loose.
Instructions:
1. Inflate the balloon and tie the end. Set on a bowl.
2. Coat sections of the balloon with Mod Podge.
3. Layer fabric leaves of various sizes on each section. Cover the top half of the balloon, overlapping them.
4. Allow the Mod Podge to dry completely.
5. Carefully snip the balloon to deflate it.
6. Cover the inside of the leaf bowl with additional fabric leaves for added texture and use hot glue to secure any loose leaves together.
7. Place a candle and fairy lights inside the bowl.
Enjoy!! Let the enchanting glow of the illuminated leaf bowl brighten up your space and bring a cozy autumn feel to your surroundings.
