Recently I shared a set of Halloween fake bake cookies that I made up in salt dough. I made some gold toned fall leaves at the same time, check them out:

I found these leaf shaped cookie cutters at the thrift store for a couple of dollars.
After mixing up some salt dough I used the set of thrifted leaf cutters to create these shapes and let them air dry. Sometimes I air dry my dough and sometimes I use the oven at 250. Air drying leaves the dough completely flat and pale, but takes at least a week. If your dough pieces are very big it can take longer, and if the room is humid mold can even start to grow while the dough is still damp. Oven drying needs a couple of hours at least and will give the dough a bit of a browned look. Sometimes the dough can get puffy in the oven, but if you catch it quickly enough you can use another pan to flatten your pieces back down.
This post has the salt dough recipe.
Once the salt dough had dried I panted the interiors of the leaves with gold acrylic paint.
With the acrylic paint dry I added detailing in gold puffy paint.
And here is how they look finished and piled on a plate to join the rest of my fall fake bake collection.
