YOU'LL NEED Cardboard Craft knife Cutting mat Ruler Tape Glass dishes Americana Acrylics in Burnt Sienna DecoArt Dazzling Metallics in Rich Espresso Pinking shears White glue Hot glue gun Paintbrush Twigs Brown fabric or faux suede
Cut about 15 1/2" wide strips of cardboard Rub them along a table edge to give them a curve Hot glue the end of a strip to a small twig Wrap the cardboard around the twig to the end, tape on another piece and continue until you have the lid size that you need. *Usually about 1/4" larger than the mouth of the glass piece you're pairing it with Hot glue the end of the last piece on the coil
Gently press the center of the coil upward to create a dome Paint white glue on the inside of the dome/lid to keep it in place When dry, paint the lid in Burnt Sienna and then dry brush it in a Rich Espresso Dazzling Metallic
When dry, cut out fabric leaves with pinking shears and hot glue them to the twig. Done!
