Cardboard
Craft knife
Cutting mat
Ruler
Tape
Glass dishes
Pinking shears
White glue
Hot glue gun
Paintbrush
Twigs
Brown fabric or faux suede
Create the Lid
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
Paint It
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
Add the Leaves and You're Done!
When dry, cut out fabric leaves with pinking shears and hot glue them to the twig.
Done!
