DIY candy bowl

This is also on my etsy. girliedoll co...but you can make it yourself also. They are nice because they don't take much time..the acrylic paint dries fast..and they make cute gifts. I made a ferrero rocher and one for christmas, but you can decorate any way you like. All the supplies are available at Michaels.

What you need.

*1 4 inch clay pot.
*2 Plates for the 4 inch pot.
*Acrylic paint
* A wooden knob for the top.
* Glue. E6000 works great..I have also used contact cement.
*A glass bowl that fits the plates (can be found at the dollar store.)
* candy...you can also fill with office supplies..beads...decorate like a gumball machine. So many things you can to.
*Letter Stickers. (optional.)
*Newspaper

What to do.

1. Lay the Newspaper on a flat surface.
2. Paint the pot, plates, and wooden knob and color/s and designs you want.
      ***To make a ferrerro topper, use a ferrero rocher wrapper and glue it onto the wooden knob.
3. Glue one plate upside down on the bottom of the pot.
4. Glue the glass bowl into the plate.
5. Glue the knob to the bottom of the other plate.
6. Decorate how you like by adding glitter stickers, ribbon, or any other thing you'd like to add.

7. Let the bowl dry for one day..to make sure the glue adheres well.


Have fun!
