LITERACY TODAY
Helpful Hints
1. Place a rubber band around an open
paint can to wipe your brush on, and
keep paint off the side of the can.
2. Put old newspaper at the bottom of
your garbage to absorb food juices.
3. Wrap paper towel around your beverage and put it in the freezer. In
about 15 minutes it will be almost
completely ice cold.
4. Use nail polish to identify keys.
5. To get the built up residue off of
your shower head, tie a baggy of
vinegar around a shower head.
Leave it there over night, and it will
clean everything off with no work.
Literacy motivates people by
increasing self-esteem and awareness
resulting in long-lasting
and meaningful changes.

Materials Required

Leaves, Mason jar, Sponge brush, Mod Podge
Instructions

First, make sure the outside of your jar is clean. Wipe it gently with rubbing alcohol to get any
grease and grime off the outside of the jar. The leaves won't stick if the jar is oily or dirty.

Then make sure your leaves are malleable. Bend them a little bit to loosen them up. Stiff leaves
won't stick either. If they are thin, fabric leaves, they should easily form around the jar. If they are
real leaves, you may want to dampen them slightly (almost the way leaves become after it rains) to
unstiffen them. You can also iron fabric leaves as well to loosen the fibers.


To decoupage, dip your brush in the Mod Podge and paint a thin layer on a section of the jar. Once
that layer becomes quite sticky (check by dabbing your finger on it), place a leaf on the jar. Paint
more Mod Podge on top of the leaf in thin layers, making sure to smooth out the edges. Start in the
center of the leaf, and push your way out to the edges with your fingers. It may take a few layers, but
the leaf should stick to the jar. Don't be afraid to use your fingers to smooth out the leaf so that it is
fully secure.
Layer more leaves on top, filling the jar with as many as you desire. Once all the leaves are on, it will
take a few hours to dry completely. The tiny edges of the leaves may not stay completely down, but
when the look is complete, you may barely even notice.
