<span style="background-color: #fff3db; color: #29303b; display: block; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',sans-serif;">=== Gilded Clay Leaves ===

Here is a great fall clay project we did in my co-op art classes. (4/5/6th grades.) I saw a set of leaf-shaped plates in Better Homes and Gardens that gave me the idea for this project. We used: Fall colored polymer clay (Sculpey or similar) Waxed paper Real leaves spoons gold acrylic paint paint brushes paper towels

I gave each student a square of waxed paper to work on. They put their names on their paper. They each got to pick a chunk of polymer clay. I used about 1/3 of a block per child. We talked about conditioning clay. (Working it until it becomes warmed and pliable.) If polymer clay is not conditioned, it will not hold together. While the kids conditioned their clay, I showed them a demonstration of how we would make the leaves. Roll the clay into a ball, and then into an egg shape. Using the palm of the hand, squish the "egg" onto the waxed paper, then press it out into a flat oval shape with your thumbs, keeping it even and not too thin. When the leaf is the size you want it, take a real leaf that has been flattened and burnish (rub) it with the back of a spoon onto the clay with the veins face down. Gently peel off the leaf. (You do not want really dry brittle leaves for this project or you will be picking leaf bits out of your clay leaves. Leaves that are fresh or just a day or two old are best.)

Gently peel your veined clay leaf off of the waxed paper and pinch at the top and the bottom to form the tip and stem end of the leaf. You do not have to be too fussy with the shape because when you pinch the top and bottom it almost magically makes it into a realistic looking leaf. Form the edges of the leaf as desired-- cupped to be bowl-like, ruffled, wavy, etc. Bake according to package directions. (I did the baking at home and we finished these the second week.) Above-leaves before gilding. After baking, give the kids their leaves on a newspaper and have them paint gold paint over the leaf, being careful to get paint into every crack and crevice. I had moistened paper towels for each student to wipe the gold paint off with immediately after painting. Guild the back of the leaf also, if desired. Wipe off. After they were all done painting, I had wet rags for the kids to clean their fingers with. Have them put their gilded leaves onto their waxed paper pieces to dry. Acrylic dries very fast. Use care: Acrylic paint can be washed out of clothes only if it is still wet. After drying it is permanent. This was a very simple project with stunning results. I was very pleased with how great every single leaf looked. We had ruffled, jagged, smooth and wavy leaves. Every one of them was beautiful. We thought they would make nice gifts for their moms to put their rings on or even for a small soap dish. Above left: 5th and 6th grade leaves

Fall Leaf Mandala for the Wall
<span style="color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Look what we've been doing with our pretty doodled leaves ! Arranging (and rearranging) them into leafy mandalas and other designs on our living room wall. I'll share a few photos, then I'm going to call it a night and go finish reading The Hunger Games ! We used this removable mounting putty to attach the leaves. So easy! Just a tiny piece was all we needed for each leaf. I haven't used this much at all in the past but will definitely start using it more for hanging art up temporarily. I think the packet cost $1.99 so it was cheap, as well as effective.

We all got into arranging the leaves. Luckily they are both flexible and strong enough to be handled repeatedly, thanks to the coat of Mod Podge. And beautiful, of course. I just love these leaves! Love that we took something so full of natural beauty and were able to add our own creative stamp to them. How about you? Have you been doing any leaf art or thanksgiving crafts? Share, share!

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mixed Media Autumn Leaf Painting
We've continued to experiment with doodled autumn leaves in combination with other fall arts and crafts ideas just because they are so fun and beautiful. These fall paintings were recently made by Maia and Daphne on canvas with paints, leaves, and metallic sharpies. The sharpie drawings were more of an afterthought on this particular project, but such a nice one. I'm starting to think that every art project needs a little silver or gold sharpie addition... Maia requested paints in fall colors, so I got out our BioColor paints in red, orange, gold, yellow, etc ( tempera or acrylic paints would work, too). She painted graduated rectangles around her canvas... ...and Daphne painted hers pink and orange and then covered it all over with red. They both added (pressed and dried) leaves to the wet paint. Daphne used small red leaves in a random design while Maia created a frame around the edge of her canvas with larger leaves. Once the paintings were dry, I set them out with metallic sharpies as a simple after school art project. Maia carefully traced the veins of a couple of her leaves. Daphne circled the canvas with her sharpie and then added smaller drawings directly on some of the leaves and also on the painted canvas part. (As usual, I lovef seeing how the two of them approach art projects so differently!) I added a coat of mod podge to the leaves to help preserve them and also to make them more vibrant and shiny. I love the look of the leaves in combination with the canvas paintings! Love it! I don't know why we didn't think to add autumn leaves to our paintings before now. We've added just about anything else you can think of—glitter, salt, tissue paper, construction paper, 3D objects... Have you tried anything like this? Or have any other leaf arts and crafts ideas for us? I'm in the mood to try anything leaf related! P.S. Today is the last day to enter the giveaway for 1 of 20 copies of my autumn crafts ebook !

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Leaf Drawing and Doodling with Metallic Sharpies
We've been doodling and drawing on our beautiful fall leaves. In fact, we loved our Thanksgiving leaf garland so much last year that we are in the process of making another one. Although this time we somehow moved away from writing down all that we are thankful for and mostly just enjoyed the leaves as canvases for art.

After we gathered the leaves we've been pressing and drying ... ...we drew, wrote, and doodled on them with silver sharpies. I love the metallic sharpies! They work so well on the leaves and show up beautifully.

There was a fair amount of doodling on the mat board underneath the leaves as well... Once we were finished drawing, I decided to try something that I found on Gingerbread Snowflakes via Pinterest: coating the dried leaves with Mod Podge to bring back the vibrant color of the leaves (they fade a bit with drying) and also to make them less brittle and more flexible. I spread my leaves out on wax paper first, brushed mod podge on one side, let dry, then turned them over and brushed on another coat. It really works! The leaves are supple again and vibrantly colored. Beautiful! This last batch is mine by the way. Maia had moved on after drawing and I didn't want to mod podge hers without her permission (she gave it shortly afterward). Now we just have to assemble our garland... By the way, if you wanted to draw on fall leaves but don't have any pressed, you could either press them after drawing, OR, you could draw on the leaves then use them in a contact paper suncatcher or stained glass. The contact paper keeps the leaves flat as they dry and displays them at the same time. --- Note Some links in this post may be affiliate links.

Leaf Casting with Plaster of Paris
<span style="color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Leaf casting with plaster of Paris turns out to be as easy as playdough casting. And aboslutely beautiful! Here's the gold-painted hosta leaf that I shared on Facebook and Google+ last night. After our plaster casting with playdough the other day, we were inspired to try again with nature items. We started with a nature walk around the garden and the girls filled their buckets with leaves, pinecones, stones, crabapples, seed pods, flowers, peppers, seed heads, and okra. First we made playdough casts of the nature items... ...and then decided to try leaf casting with plaster. I had seen tutorials for making leaf stepping stones with concrete and have been planning to do so all summer. But for some reason, the concrete kept being a barrier to making them. I'd have to //buy// it. And //mix// it. And concrete is unweildy... And, and... But, we already had the plaster of Paris and it is so easy to mix up (two parts plaster to one part water), so we tried it first with a large okra leaf outside. And then with an assortment of leaves inside (placed over wax paper to protect the table). From left to right are a hosta leaf, an oakleaf hydrangea leaf, a fern frond, a perilla leaf, and two viburnum leaves. As before, we mixed the plaster of Paris in a gallon-sized ziplock plastic bag and snipped off the end to have control over it as I squeezed it out. I tried to just squeeze within the perimeter of the leaf, but it overflowed a bit onto the wax paper. Mostly I squeezed the plaster and Maia spread it around with a spoon. Maia and Daphne placed more leaves on top of the plaster for extra leaf prints and extra fun. Once the plaster of Paris had hardened, the kids pulled off the top leaves. Then we turned the plaster leaves over and pulled off the main leaves as well. This one is the oakleaf hydrangea. The hosta plaster leaf turned out really well, too. And the okra plaster leaf is amazing, but so large that pieces broke off. We want to try this again, and I think that next time we'll use something to help stabilize the plaster on the larger leaves. My idea was to spread a layer of plaster, then lay a piece of cheesecloth over the plaster, and spread another layer of plaster over that. And then maybe another piece of cheesecloth? Also, has anyone tried mixing glue with the plaster? I wonder how that would work... If you have any ideas for stabilizing the larger plaster leaves, please let me know! We painted our plaster leaves with liquid watercolors. As you can see above, the fern never came out of the plaster. So now we know that ferns (at least this kind) don't work well for leaf casting. But it's still beautiful. See how colorful and vibrant the liquid watercolors are? They didn't stay that way, sadly. The gold liquid watercolor paint stayed beautiful and perfect, but the rest of the liquid watercolors soaked into the plaster. We ended up re-painting the leaves with with BioColor paint after a few days (except for the leaves with the metallic watercolors). I don't have pics of the BioColor-painted leaves yet, but they are beautiful too and the paint stays on the surface of the plaster just fine (it's not quite as translucent, though). You could also just dye the plaster with food coloring or something ahead of time if you wanted to. Or just use the metallic liquid watercolors. They really do look amazing on these leaves. Here Maia is arranging all the plaster leaves, pinecones, and other nature items on my piece of velvet for a photo shoot. Plaster oakleaf hydrangea and perilla. Plaster okra and hosta leaves. We can't wait to do more of this leaf casting with plaster! Maia has already pointed out which elephant ear leaf she wants to use. And, thinking ahead to Autumn, I want to make some leaves for a fall nature table and paint them in golds, reds, and yellows. And Maia wants to make some as Christmas ornaments. We always have lots of ideas... --- Note Some links in this post may be affiliate links. I only use affiliate links for products we use and love.

The chill is in the air and the leaves are changing color, and there’s no better way to preserve the delight than by welcoming it into your home. Yes, the craft stores overflowing with autumn decorations can be intimidating, but there are ways to turn those faux autumn leaves into something beautiful and// functional. Below are instructions for your very own autumn leaf bowl, perfect for holding your favorite scented potpourri or tasty Halloween treats.

Craft store leaf garland, Mod Podge (matte finish), Foam Brush, Balloon, Scissors, Mixing bowl 1. Begin by snipping the leaves off the strand of garland. Leave about 1/8″ at the base. 2. Carefully rip the entire plastic stem (and all the veins!) off of the faux leaves (See image above). This will help the leaves mold to the shape of the balloon. 3. Fill up your balloon to size. We stuck ours inside a mixing bowl to keep it in place. 4. With your mod podge in a cup near by, gently apply a thin layer on top of your balloon, starting in the middle and working your way out.
 * Materials:**
 * Tip: try to find thin, paper-like leaves for your garland. The thinner the leaves, the better they will mold to the shape of your balloon. Also, avoid any plastic-coated leaves.
 * How To:**

5. Lay a leaf on top of the wet mod podge and smooth with your fingers or foam brush. Once it’s stuck in place, apply another thin layer of mod podge on top of that leaf. See image below. 6. Repeat, covering any empty spaces with smaller leaves.

7. When you reach about a quarter of the way down the balloon, add one or two leaves to the bottom of the bowl for extra weight and support. Allow to dry at least an hour.

8. When the mod podge is dry, carefully pop your balloon with a pin at the tied end, slowly letting the air out. Don’t be alarmed if the leaves shrink down when the balloon deflates, it will return to its original shape after a minute or so. You may find that some of the mod podge will stick to the edges of your leaves, but you can just pick or cut it off. 9. Use your bowl to hold potpourri or little wrapped halloween candies. We love easy ways to liven up your home decor and this colorful DIY does the job well.

 * Attention readers! Having trouble getting your leaves to stick? We’re here to help. Be sure you remove the plastic “stems” from the faux leaves before trying to adhere them to your balloon. After you apply a layer of Mod Podge to your balloon, wait about 30 seconds or until the paste feels sticky, then gently press on your first leaves. If they start to bend upward, hold the leaves down at the tips with your finger. Keep a moist towel nearby to wipe any glue off your hands. This will help the leaves from sticking to your fingers.
