Pressed Botanical Autumn Leaf Glass Hurricane
How to Make
Incorporating real or faux preserved foliage into a glass hurricane jar introduces natural organic textures into harvest-themed home decor setups. Gather flat, preserved maple leaves in vibrant crimson, deep gold, and burnt orange shades, ensuring the leaf surfaces are entirely dry and free of moisture. Apply a generous layer of clear decoupage medium to the back of each leaf, pressing them individually against the inner or outer wall of a wide-mouth mason jar. Smooth out air bubbles and raised veins by working from the center of each leaf outward with a soft rubber roller or thumb pressure. Seal the foliage layer with an additional coat of satin decoupage finish to lock in color vibrancy and prevent edge curling over time. A tall battery-operated taper candle anchored inside casts a rich, radiant warmth through the natural leaf veins.
