Fall Leaf Clay Bowls

Supplies you will need:

• Rolling Pin
• Parchment Paper
• DAS Modeling Clay
  
• Acrylic paint - we used the following paint colors for our bowl, but feel free to get creative with your own color scheme.
  
  • Craftsmart Brown 
  • Craftsmart Terra Cotta 
  • Craftsmart Bronze
  • FolkArt Berry Wine
  • FolkArt Cinnamon
• Zibra Round Brush
• Leaves of different shapes and sizes from around your yard

Step 1: Using your rolling pin, roll out your clay on top of the parchment paper. Place your leaves on top of the clay and make sure to gently press down so all of the leaf's details get imprinted into the clay.

Step 2: Using a toothpick or wood skewer, cut out your leaves.

Step 3: To mold the clay into a bowl-like shape, place your cut-out leaves inside a small size nesting bowl (as shown above) to form it's curved edges. Allow the clay to dry for 3 days.

Step 4: Once your clay is completely dry you're ready for the last and final step. Using your Zibra Round Brush paint (generously) each leaf. You may need 2 coats of paint depending on how thick you apply the paint. Let dry between coats.

Optional: We added Rub'nBuff over the paint to give our leaves a metallic finish.

Finally, print out name tags and place inside your finished project and use for place cards at your next gathering!
