Instructions
Cover your work space with parchment paper.

Condition the clay by kneading until it is soft and smooth.

Roll the clay out flat to about 1/8th to 1/4th inch thick.

Place the leaf on the clay sheet and press the leaf into the clay to make the leaf impression.  I used the clay roller.

Cut the leaf impression out with the clay knife.

Carefully remove the leaf from the clay.

Smooth the edges of the clay leaf with a wet finger.

Place the design on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Tip:  To make a curled leaf, put the leaf in a parchment lined baking dish.

Bake at 275 degrees for 15 minutes per 1/4 inch clay thickness. Do not over bake.

Allow to cool.

Seal both sides with clear acrylic spray or Mod Podge.

Your leaf is ready to be displayed.
