Create a long-lasting Thanksgiving centerpiece by coating leaves with colored and glittered Mod Podge.
Servings 1 centerpiece makes

What you need

  • Glossy Mod Podge
  • Glitter
  • Food Coloring
  • Crunchy Leaves
  • Paint Brush
  • Wax Paper

Directions

  1. In a paper bowl mix Mod Podge with food coloring and glitter until you get the desired shade. Add more food coloring than you think to get really vibrant results. Orange food coloring was used in the example.
  2. Brush one side of all your leaves and let dry on wax paper. Once dry flip over and do the same to the other side. This encases the leaves and preserves them for years.
  3. Store finished leaves with wax paper in between each leaf as they will stick together over time.
