Instructions
Wrap the dental floss around your fingers and use it to break off a chunk of the clay.
Then roll the clay to 1/2" thick, and lay your leaf with the veins facing down on the clay.
Use the rolling pin to transfer the imprint of the veins to the clay.
With the craft knife, trace out the leaf's shape in the clay.
Cup the clay leaf in your hands and gently form the bowl shape by curling the edges upwards.
Let the clay dry completely.
Paint the dried clay leaf with craft paint. Then protect the finish with a sealer.
