Kitchen Jewelry Bowl

Hey there crafters!  This is a snap shot of a corner of my pear colored kitchen. 

I just love these curtains from IKEA. What I don't like...is doing the dishes.  ("I always get the hardest days" was my childhood lament!)  

I decided to make a cute bowl to toss my rings and bracelets in before I start the dishes.

Creative Paperclay makes coordinating home decor as easy as apple pie!

Supplies Needed:

Creative Paperclay ®

rolling pin

styrofoam bowl

acrylic paint

brush

ziplock bag

Krylon Crystal Clear gloss spray

First, start off with a styrofoam bowls to use as an armature.

Roll out your dough a big larger than you think you need.

Then place it into the bowl, gently.

Cutt off the excess...and smooth the edges!

Roll out more Creative Paperclay ® and shape as desired.

Attach...(check back in a couple of weeks for my tips on how to attache these clay leaves!)

I start my drying process in a plastic bag..

Once your piece is dried, you can decorate, paint, and embellish as you like!

When it is all dried, I sprayed a couple of coats of Gloss Spray to seal my bowl.

Yeppers...I'm not going to lose any more rings and things with this pretty bowl!

My kitchen got a little sprucing up...and I guess it really is time for me to do some dishes!

Ugh...it was spaghetti tonight!  

Thanks for coming to see my project this month!

Have a great Christmas!
