Decoupaged Spring Pedestal Bowl
This project just reminds me of Spring 🐦
It began with a simple wooden bowl and an experiment.
The experiment was with vintage sewing patterns.
I've seen projects made with patterns before and I love the color and the look so I'm giving it a try.
I haven't used a sewing pattern in 40 years so these really brought back memories of the days I made a lot of my clothes.
I began by painting Mod Podge glossy finish all over the bottom of the wooden bowl.
I cut large pieces of the pattern and laid it onto the wet Mod Podge.
And then I went to bed wondering if this little decoupage experiment was going to work at all.
Before I even reached for my first cup of coffee I checked on my bowl.
Oh boy was I ever thrilled!
This was better than I even expected!
It almost looked like shiny brown paper which is a great look with the blue I chose.
I got to finishing my project with renewed enthusiasm!
I painted the candlestick and the inside of the bowl with Provence a pretty Spring Annie Sloan Chalk Paint color.
I drilled a hole in the bowl so I could attach the bowl to the candlestick with E6000 glue and a screw.
When the paint dried I gave the whole piece a coat of Fusion Mineral Paint's Tough Coat.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Laura... the sewing pattern was so much fun I've started another decoupage project!
DeleteOh my gosh, I LOVE THIS! Will share on Facebook this weekend- seriously, I never thought about decoupaging sewing patterns. I've used them before but never like this. GENIUS!
ReplyDeleteWow! Thank you so much Sarah, coming from you that's quite a compliment! :)
DeleteLove love love this idea. The patterned paper looks like an antique with that old world color. And it makes the prefect compliment to the blue!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Mary... I love it with the blue :)
DeleteReally clever. The combination of the painted surfaces and the earthier underside covered with the pattern pieces is really in style right now too...and I just scored a pattern, separated from its envelope, at a Goodwill last week! Wondered what I was going to do with it.

DeleteOk, I have to say that I love this a lot! And I have a big stack of wooden bowls that I was going to paint white and stick in my booth. Those plans just got changed, lol!
