Autumn Leaves, fake *not plastic
Mod Podge
Foam Brush
Balloon
Scissors
Mixing bowl
Instructions:
Spread of leaves. Fill up your balloon to size. Stick inside a mixing bowl to keep it in place. With your mod podge in a cup near by, gently apply a thin layer on top of your balloon, starting in the middle and working your way out. Lay a leaf on top of the wet mod podge and smooth with your fingers or foam brush. Once it's stuck in place, apply another thin layer of mod podge on top of that leaf. Repeat, covering any empty spaces with smaller leaves. When you reach about a quarter of the way down the balloon, add one or two leaves to the bottom of the bowl for extra weight and support. Allow to dry at least an hour. When the mod podge is dry, carefully pop your balloon with a pin at the tied end, slowly letting the air out. Don't be alarmed if the leaves shrink down when the balloon deflates, it will return to its original shape after a minute or so. You may find that some of the mod podge will stick to the edges of your leaves, but you can just pick or cut it off.
