After gluing the first sheet, go to the second and the next. Place their edges overlapping with respect to previous specimens.
If the leaves leave in some places, you can temporarily fix them with clerical rubber bands. After the glue dries, you simply peel them off.
This thing should dry out within 24 hours. Then you can remove the gum, place the candles inside and light them in the evenings. Then you will be in a beautiful romantic setting. You can use not ordinary candles, but electric or LED candles to avoid the possibility of fire.
