Copper Leaf Bowl DIY
This Copper leaf bowl diy turned out perfect! These Hobby Lobby leaves were the perfect choice for this project!
Leaves were our challenge this month for the Handcrafted Society and this project did not disappoint! I had no idea what to make and then I saw some copper bowls and had an idea! It couldn’t be cuter!

Let’s get started!
Supplies for Copper Leaf Bowl
- Copper Leaves (Hobby Lobby)
- Dollar Tree Glass Bowl
- Surebonder Hot Glue Gun
That’s it. Three ingredients for this adorable copper leaf bowl! A whopping total of less than $6, because I got the leaves for 40% off.
How to Make a Copper Leaf Bowl
- Start by removing the sticker from your bowl. It will show from the inside.
- Clip all of the stems from the copper leaves with scissors. They will be in the way. I left on the first one and then decided to clip them all off.
- Place hot glue on the veins and on the ends of each point of the copper leaf.
- Start by placing the first layer of copper leaves down in a T shape where they all meet and slightly cover each other at the base. Make sure to cover the entire bottom of the glass bowl.
- Continue hot gluing the leaves upward until the entire bowl is covered. This is 2 layers and I could have stopped here, but I added a third layer of leaves to extend beyond the top of the glass bowl and I love how it turned out!
- This is with the 3 rows of copper leaves.
Okay, now are you convinced that you need to make this copper leaf bowl yet?
Here is the bowl on the inside view. Except for my one hot glue incident, it’s pretty perfect!
Look at what my friends made too! I can’t wait to try some of these ideas as well!
Happy Fall crafting!
You are always so clever, Amy! I love this copper leaf bowl! So unique! You never cease to inspire me!

Amy this is absolutely gorgeous my friend! I have been on a kick for all things copper lately! Loved joining you ladies this month!

Such a beautiful idea and project Amy. I love how you extended the leaves slightly higher than the glass bowl. Plus who knew, only three things needed to make it. Love it! I’m so pleased to join you today!
I love this so much!
How many packages of copper leaves did you use? I love it!
Thanks!
Hi DeeDee! I used two packages and had some leftover. I almost got away with one but ended up needing about 3 more leaves! So then I added a few more for good measure!
