Painting Craft - Decorative Pedestal Bowl

I love spring. I love pretty things. I love crafts. And of course, I love being frugal. All of these loves collided in this fun painting craft project - a decorative pedestal bowl.

This shabby-chic looking decorative spring bowl could easily be altered to be a winter bowl, summer bowl, or just an everyday, all-season bowl!

Ingredients

• A glass bowl, vase, or platter
• A wine glass, martini glass, or candle stick holder(ensure it has one wide opening)
• Super glue
• Acrylic paint
• Brush

Instructions

• Pour paint on the inside of your glass or candle stick holder. Make a circle in the middle (where the side meets the bottom). This line can be as thin or thick as you’d like. Turn your cup upside down on a paper towel and set aside. The paint will drip down the sides of the glass.
• Paint a design on the top bowl (on the inside, unless you are using the bowl for food). I did green swirly dots with purple flower petals. By painting on the inside of the bowl it gives a very glossy look to the finished product. If you would like to use your bowl for food, paint on the outside of the bowl.
• Dab super glue along the ridge of the upside down glass and carefully position the bowl on top and push down. Put something heavy in the bowl (like a cup filled with water) until the glue has set.

It’s that easy! You don’t even need to paint pictures or designs on the bowl, you can just let the paint drip on the bottom cup or candles stick holder. Or you can skip the paint drip part and just paint designs on the bowl.

Whatever suits you best! Pouring paint in the top bowl and tuning upside down would also look very cool!

This painting craft is lots of fun. Consider giving it a try - you won’t be disappointed!
