Fall Leaf Bowl


Artificial maple leaves ( I got some that were gold )
Plastic bowl
Plastic wrap
Mod Podge
Foam brush
Rubber band
Start by wrapping the bowl in plastic wrap.
Place the rubber band around the plastic wrap and the rim of the bowl to hold it in place.
Then paint the leaves with Mod Podge and press them onto the covered bowl.
Repeat painting and pressing leaves until your bowl is covered.
Let it dry about 2 hours then remove it from the bowl.
Set it out to dry completely which is about 4 more hours depending on how thick you went with mod Podge.
This bowl is a delicate bowl so it should be used for light things.
Let me know what you put in your bowl after you've made it!
