Prep the bowl you are using as your mold. Do this by spraying the outside of the bowl with cooking spray, then covering it with plastic wrap. This protects the bowl and prevents the leaves from adhering to it. Turn the prepped bowl upside down. Begin placing the leaves on to the bowl and “painting” them with Mod Podge. Use A LOT and paint it on thick to make sure it fully saturates the leaves. Continue “painting” on the leaves until you have the designs you want. Make sure there are no gaps in the leaves and that the entire bowl is covered. Put another coat of Mod Podge over all the leaves that cover the bowl. Allow it to dry overnight. The next day gently separate the leaves from the plastic wrap. The bowl mold should fall off nicely and leave you with a sturdy leaf bowl. Place it on your fall table and fill it with small items such as candy.
