Directions
Cover the outside of the mixing bowl with plastic wrap to prevent the doily from sticking to it.
Pour fabric stiffener or Mod Podge into a separate container.
Submerge the lace doily into the fabric stiffener, ensuring it is fully saturated.
Remove the doily from the stiffener and gently squeeze out any excess liquid.
Place the doily over the plastic-wrapped mixing bowl, centering it so that it drapes evenly over the sides.
Use your hands to smooth out any wrinkles and adjust the doily to achieve the desired shape.
Allow the doily to dry completely, which may take several hours or overnight.
Once dry, carefully remove the doily from the bowl mold.
Trim any excess threads or uneven edges with scissors to achieve a clean finish.
Final LooksVariations & Tips
To add a personal touch to your lace doily bowls, consider dyeing the doilies in different colors before stiffening them. This can create a vibrant and eye-catching effect. You can also experiment with different sizes and shapes of doilies to create a variety of bowl sizes. For added embellishment, consider gluing small beads or pearls along the edges of the bowl once it has dried. If you prefer a more rustic look, use natural-colored doilies and pair them with wooden or metal accents in your decor. These variations allow you to customize the bowls to suit your personal style and home decor.
