Look at these lovely fall beauties! What we have here are tiny autumn leaves mod modged to small rocks. Very simple, attractive, and quite seasonal.
Am I getting carried away with seasonal crafting? Perhaps. Will I get back to developmentally-appropriate, process-oriented kids' art soon? Yes, the answer is yes! And the answer is also, please bear with me, because I am enjoying this fall crafting binge like crazy and it's a wonderful release after working so hard on the book.
Sooo...
Gather your materials: small rocks, washed (the smoother and flatter, the better), Mod Podge, a small paint brush, small autumn leaves (I pressed and dried mine first -- not sure if it's necessary though -- let me know if you try it without drying them first), and something to protect your work surface.
Step 1: Brush a layer of Mod Podge over the flattest part of your rock.
Step 2: Position leaf over wet Mod Podge.
Step 3: Brush another layer of Mod Podge over leaf.
Step 4: Continue with as many rocks and leaves as desired.
Step 5: Let dry.
Step 6: Pile in a pretty basket and admire.
Or, spread out and arrange as desired.
