Paint the wood frame with the color of your choice. Let dry. Add a second coat and let dry.

Before applying any Mod Podge, lay out the design first. Use the tweezers to place the dried leaves on your frame. Keep arranging until you’re happy with the design, then snap a cell phone pic so you can reassemble. Remove the leaves from the frame with the tweezers and gently set aside.

Working one area at a time and starting with the first layer of leaves, apply Mod Podge to the frame. Use tweezers to place down the leaves and gently press into the Mod Podge. Brush away the excess gently and repeat. Let dry.

Now work on the second layer. Apply more Mod Podge to the frame and add the leaves as you did before. Brush the excess Mod Podge away and let dry.

Add a third layer of leaves as you have the previous two. Step back and see if you have any areas to fill in. Do that for your final layer and let dry.

Seal the frame again – completely, including the edges – and let dry. To remove the excess around some of the edges of the leaves with a smaller paintbrush. Let dry completely before putting a picture in it.
