Trend Alert-Knock Off DIY Pottery-I Saved Over $100!

Have you heard? Pottery is the new hot home trend. I heard a rumor that it even went so far to replace the basket. Gasp! I do not think we should go and throw our baskets away, I certainly am not. But pottery is a nice way to add a little texture with a handcrafted look. I even love the idea of mixing wovens with clay as you will see a little further down in the post.

This is the inspiration, these clay bowls are over $100 dollars. Another gasp!

So it got me thinking. What if I could make something similar. I found a $2 thrift store bowl and bought a wood base from the craft store. Along with craft paint. There was nothing left on the paint isle so I bought one that said Putty.

Also something heavy like a stack of books.

How to…

First clean your bowl as best as you can.

Glue the base to the bowl and let dry.

Mix your paint, 2 parts paint to one part baking soda.

Apply liberally and dry. I did 2 coats.

You will see some bubbles from the foam brush, I like that additional texture. You can opt for a regular brush.

You have to admit for the savings it’s pretty close. You can use black or more of a stone white. The texture from baking soda is amazing!!
