If you need a quick and simple decoration for Thanksgiving next week, here's an idea.
You need a clear glass container (I used an old wine bottle), some faux autumn leaves (I had mine on hand from the dollar store) and some Mod Podge.
Paint a thin layer of Mod Podge over the entire surface of the glass (you can even use your finger to apply it). Press on the leaves in a random pattern, making certain the edges are firmly adhered. After the leaves are on to your satisfaction, paint another thin layer over the top of the leaves. It dries quickly and leaves a nice frosted-look on the glass which is not covered with leaves. Tie a ribbon around the top for color.
