Fall is one of my favorite seasons because the leaves change. Every year around this time I get really excited to see it. But every year it passes and all I have is pictures.
This year, I found a way to preserve the part I love so much. I’ve made a pendant to capture the color change.
Will the leaf remain this color, you ask? I think so, because the leaf bookmark I made a few years ago is still vibrant.
Want to make your own charm? Follow the tutorial below.
Materials needed for a DIY leaf pendant
- colorful leaf
- glass orb
- Diamond Glaze
- pendant tray
- Chain for necklace or bracelet (optional)
Step 1: choose the leaf and portion
Place the glass orb over top of the leaves you’re considering.
When you’ve chosen the placement, cut or rip around the orb so that your leaf shape is round.
Step 2: glue the leaf to the glass
Add a drop of glue to the glass orb and press your leaf down firmly.
Step 3: glue the orb to the pendant tray
Glue the orb to the tray and press it down firmly.
Let it dry.
Look how cute that is! Oh, and that texture looks amazing. Now you can have the changing seasons forever. You can put it on a necklace, bracelet or hang it from your Christmas tree. What a fun way to remember autumn.

Happy crafting!
Such a great idea! Very creative! ❤️
Thank you! I love fall 👍
very cute.
That looks so neat! I’m going to try this out next year. The leaves here are all either crumbly or soaking wet, not the greatest for crafting ;p
Mine was pretty dried out when I used it. You might be able to get away with a crumbled one. Give it a shot!
