DIY Inspiration: Gold Dipped Bowl

December 9, 2011

I caught this project on Curbly: a "gold" dipped bowl, made from air dry clay & then painted. Even though I mooned over gold when I came home from Hungary, I still haven't actually added any . . . but maybe a little bowl like this might look cute on Hubby's new DIY'd desk? Or to add a bit of sparkle to my newly styled (and hacked) Expedit?

Or maybe I'll give up on gold and try neon (or turquoise!):

You have to check out the gorgeous tutorial - it is simple, effective and made me giggle (it's supposed to).

I love this. I have this pinned in my DIY folder on Pintrest....taking it that next step further and painting it in neon pink: brilliant!

The neon is so unexpected! But I think with the white it wouldn't look too out of place, even in a home with neutral decor.

It would look great with the new colour of 2012 - that fabulous, saturated red/tangerine.

I'm not on pinterest (might join soon) so my blog acts as my pinterest!

I love Curbly. Their projects always look great and are simple enough to make me say, "Why didn't I think of that?"

I actually tried this out and gave them as gifts along with a piece of jewelry to my sisters for Christmas: http://adventuresincreating.blogspot.com/2011/12/diy-faux-porcelain-bowl.html
