Fall is the perfect season to slow down, observe nature and get inspired by its rich colors and textures. With just a few simple materials and creativity, you can create beautiful seasonal projects that bring warmth into your home while enjoying quality time with either yourself or the whole family.
Clay leaf-shaped trinket dish
Using autumn leaves and clay, press the leaves onto the clay to imprint the detail in the mold that the clay has become. To create a bowl effect, make a depression in the middle of the now clay leaf and you're done ! Not only interesting and pleasing pieces to look at, but it's pleasant to make : a bit of decorative paint, clay and varnish to ensure that your bowl dish will not be tarnished by the pieces you'll put in. It's an element of fall decoration, as sophisticated and fun to make and central to bringing the outside inside.
