Design a moss landscape in glass
Start by placing a small drop of hot glue on the bottom of the bottle. Place a layer of moss on top and spread it out with a skewer or similar long tool while the glue is still warm. Apply more drops of hot glue and add additional layers of moss to create a stable bottom layer. Gently press the moss into place while the glue dries.
Attach the figures to the moss
Drizzle a little hot glue onto the underside of your figures. Use tweezers to carefully place the figures on the moss and position them as desired.
Insert a glass light with a chain of lights
Wrap the chain of lights once around the glass to mark the shape. Carefully pull off the chain and attach the ends by wrapping them around their own ring, leaving about 5 cm of wire sticking out. Carefully insert the chain of lights into the glass and use a pin to position it as desired. The wire and the battery compartment should remain on the outside of the glass.
Integrate the physalis chain of lights
Carefully peel the leaves of the physalis from the polystyrene and remove the inside. Guide the lights through the hole in the stem of the physalis. If the hole is too small, carefully enlarge it with scissors. Wrap the chain of lights around the stem and fix it in place with a drop of hot glue. Then glue the leaves of the physalis back together and secure the physalis in the glass by gluing the stem to the edge of the glass.
Create an acorn chain of lights
Wrap the chain of lights twice around the glass as described for the chain of lights. Twist the stems of the acorns with the wire end of the chain of lights. Bend the stems into shape and attach them to the moss with hot glue. You can also attach the acorns and the battery compartment to the edge of the glass.
Final decoration
Finally, take a jute ribbon and wrap it around the edge of the jar to secure it with hot glue. Feel free to add acorns or physalis by attaching them to the glass under the ribbon to add an extra autumnal accent.
