Looking for a fun craft to do with the kids?  Try this votive candle craft we found on Kaboose.  See their version and photo here.

Gather small leaves and other foliage from outside. They should still have some life to them and shouldn’t be too dry or crumbly. Then lay leaves in a single layer and place a large book on top to flatten them. Leave for a few hours.

Completely cover one side of the leaves with white glue and attach to the votive or glass. Dilute the rest of the glue 50/50 with water.

Tear the tissue into large 2 inch pieces and using a paintbrush or foam brush and glue the pieces over the glass and covering the leaves as well.

Allow it to dry overnight. Use with small votive candles for a lovely fall decoration!
