Here's a Fall DIY craft that will make you look like a pro...even if you aren't crafty!!

You will need some fresh leaves and a box of oven-bake clay (and paint).

Find a rounded bowl or even use aluminum foil to make one.  I wiped the inside of the bowl with a small amount of cooking spray to prevent any sticking.
