how to make terracotta decor for fall
- Roll terracotta clay flat. I used baking soda to help with sticking and a roller to really work it flat.
- After rolled out completely, you can use the fall-inspired cookie cutters and/or my FREE leaf template provided HERE! If using the leaf template, simply cut it out and use a knife to trace around the leaf.
- You can use a knife or toothpick to create designs designs on your clay before it dries. I also poked holes in the top of my leaves so I could create a little wall hanging, but that’s totally up to you!
- After your design is complete, lay your finished terracotta shape out on the cookie drying rack. If you want your leaves to look more realistic, you can roll up parchment paper and put it under certain areas to bend it how you’d like.
And after it dries, you’re done!! No baking required, and super budget-friendly!! This would be a fun craft to do with kids, too!!
You can create tons of shapes and designs, and use this as a wall hanging, bowl filler, create a garland, there’s tons of options!!
