Decoupaged Spring Pedestal Bowl

 This project just reminds me of Spring 🐦

How to Make a Spring Pedestal Bowl


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. 

I painted over the pattern pieces with the Mod Podge as well

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

  4. Really 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.
