Some past projects



 A while back my son and I went to "help" Dad cut wood. We picked up acorns instead. We were supposed to take them to preschool, but I had other ideas. (of course I left him enough to take) We had fun glueing the "hats" back on and stuck them in a vase with a few votive candles. 

This one was a little harder. First of all I made my own mod podge glaze, which is just Elmer's glue and water. It looks like frosted glass when you are all done. I used a foam brush to spread it all over the jar, then I put leaves on it, and smoothed it out with a layer of glue on top of the leaves. I will say that the maple leaves worked the best. I think it was because they were still really moist and they laid the flattest. The other leaves I could not get to stay down. I just walked away and it looks ok.
