Let's Do This!
Step 1: Prepare bowl
- Cover a bowl with plastic wrap using a criss-cross pattern. Our bowl is 8 ½" wide by 4" high.
Step 2: Prepare leaves
- Remove the plastic veins from the leaves by pulling them off. You’ll need about 20-25 leaves, depending on their size.
Step 3: Make the bowl
- Completely coat the front of a leaf with tacky glue.
- Start at the bottom of the bowl and place the leaf on the bowl. Continue coating more leaves and placing them around the bottom of the bowl.
- Make as many rows of leaves needed to completely cover the bowl.
Step 4:
- Cover the leaf bowl with plastic wrap using a criss-cross pattern. Press the plastic wrap tightly against the bowl. Let it sit for three to four hours. Note: the glue will not dry during this phase, but it will set up the shape of the bowl.
- Carefully remove the outer layer of plastic wrap from the bowl. Let the bowl sit for one to two more hours until the glue is completely dry.
Step 5:
- Loosen the inner plastic wrap and leaf bowl from the bowl itself.
- Remove the inner plastic wrap from the leaf bowl.
Step 6:
- Paint the inside and outside of the leaf bowl with gold glitter paint. Let dry.
