I just can’t get enough of leaf crafts! That is why I just had to share this DIY autumn leaf bowl I found at Hello Lucky! See how it was made with just a few supplies, including my go to supply, Mod Podge.

This project was awhile in the making, as there was some trial and error involved. I have been dying to cut leaves with my Sizzix since they started changing into the warm autumn hues. The part I couldn’t figure out about how to do this was preserving the leaves. If I pressed them, they would be brittle and fall apart when I rolled them into the rose shape. What to do?
The solution turned out to be beeswax. The idea came to me when I saw this post at Artsy Ants on preserving autumn leaves with beeswax. I thought just maybe I could dip the leaves, then die cut and roll the spirals into the 3D rose. There were some things to learn along the way, but in the end, it worked. I used my roses to embellish an oval frame containing autumn themed subway art. See how I did it…
