DIY Craft Leaf Ideas is filling up with leaves faster that you can rake them away. Before you bundle them up and leave them at the curb, let the kids pick a few and craft a little creativity with these fabulous projects.

Decorating with DIY Craft Leaf Ideas can be so much more than piling them into a garbage bag that looks like a pumpkin and plopping it on your front porch. Here are some elegant, crafty and creative ways to use up those leaves collecting in your yard.

My kids love playing with paper punches but I never thought about using basic shapes on DIY Craft Leaf Ideas. The from Grow Creative (also at very top) yields some awesome shapes you can incorporate into other crafts, like collages, garlands, or greeting cards. Don’t wait until the leaves are too dry though or they’ll crumble.

Let your little ones create an entire DIY Craft Leaf Ideas. Larger leaves can be used for parents and smaller ones for the kids. You just have to add a few decorations like stickers for the eyes and face or you can use wiggly craft eyes if you prefer. Let them decorate the family however they like and then display them for everyone to see when they visit.

Here’s another simple but innovative twist on DIY Craft Leaf Ideas art: These images remind me of finding animals in the clouds. Everything resembles something else if you look hard enough!

Supplies needed to make your own DIY Craft Leaf Ideas bowl:

1. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.

2. Paint Mod Podge onto a leaf, and press the leaf onto the bowl. Repeat with various leaves, overlapping the leaves as you go. As you layer and press the leaves onto each other, excess Mod Podge will squeeze out. Just brush that over the outside of the leaves. Continue until the base is covered and half the sides are covered with leaves.

3. Because the leaves are not flat, they kept popping up and sliding around a bit. To hold them in place while the Mod Podge set, I covered the wet leaves with more plastic wrap. I pressed on the plastic wrap to smooth out the leaves and help them stick together. I placed the covered leaves in the sun for about 4 hours, then I carefully removed the outer layer of plastic wrap and let the leaves dry completely. You could probably leave the plastic wrap on while they dry, but it will extend the drying time considerably.

4. When the leaves were completely dry, I sprayed them with an application of Krylon Triple Thick Glaze. Mod Podge tends to be slightly tacky when it dries, so the glaze helps cover up the stickiness. Also, the leaves are still very pliable, and I thought the glaze would make them a little firmer and help the leaves adhere better.

5. When the glaze is dry, carefully take the leaves and plastic wrap off the bowl. Carefully peel back the plastic wrap from the inside of the leaf bowl.

This DIY Craft Leaf Ideas bowl is lovely, don’t you think? It would make a gorgeous addition to a side table or coffee table. It is very lightweight and pliable, so you can’t fill it with anything heavy, but it would look cute with some artificial acorns inside. You could add some scented pot to the bowl and use it to brighten up a room.
