How to make a high-end decorative bowl
Step 1: Prepare the Wooden Bowl
Start by placing your wooden serving bowl on a clean and well-ventilated workspace. Ensure that it's free from any dust or debris.
Step 2: Apply White Gloss Spray Paint
Shake your white gloss spray paint can thoroughly. Spray the entire outside of the bowl, including the bottom. Hold the can about 6-8 inches away from the bowl's surface and apply an even coat of paint. Allow it to dry according to the paint manufacturer's instructions.
Step 3: Spray Paint the Inside
Once the outside is dry, flip the bowl over. Spray-paint the inside of the bowl in the same manner as you did with the exterior. Make sure to cover the entire inside surface evenly. Let it dry completely.
Step 4: Choose Decorative Knobs
While the paint is drying, select three decorative knobs that will serve as the feet for your bowl. These knobs should complement your decor style and the color of the bowl.
Step 5: Drill Holes for Knobs
Using your drill, mark and drill three holes equidistant from each other on the bottom of the wooden bowl. Make sure the holes are large enough to accommodate the screws of the knobs.
Step 6: Attach the Knobs
Take your decorative knobs and twist them through the holes you've drilled on the bottom of the bowl. Use a screwdriver to securely fasten them in place.
Step 7: Finishing Touches
Make any necessary adjustments to ensure the knobs are firmly attached and the bowl stands evenly. Check for any spots that may need a touch-up with spray paint.
Step 8: Let It Dry
Allow the entire bowl to dry completely. This ensures that the knobs are securely in place, and the paint is fully cured.
Step 9: Display Your Dupe Bowl
Your DIY decorative bowl is now complete and ready to be displayed. Find the perfect spot for it in your home, and admire how beautiful and unique it looks!
