Doily Bowl
Things to Do | Crafts
Mold this around any bowl you wish. If you wish to
use the doily separate from a bowl, then only use wrapped candies in it. This
looks great for Easter or other holidays to hold the holiday candy.
Parental supervision is recommended.
This project is rated AVERAGE to do.
What You Need
- Glass bowl or other type of bowl that will fit the doily
- Lace Doily
- Liquid Starch
- Small bowl (extra)
- Large Rubber bands
- Wax paper
- Drying rack or cooling rack
How To Make It
- Tear off a sheet of wax paper to cover the outside of the glass bowl. Turn
bowl upside down and place wax paper over it (you will have to scrunch it).
Place on cooling or drying rack. Set aside.
- Pour a small amount of liquid starch in extra bowl.
- Place the lace doily in the starch. Using your fingers make sure the doily
gets thoroughly saturated with the starch. Squish the doily around in the
starch and then squeeze all the starch out.
- Spread the doily over the outside of the bowl that has the wax paper
covering it. Carefully position the doily over the bowl.
- Place rubber bands around the bowl to hold in place. Only place the rubber
bands as high up on the bowl as you want the sides to be. Take the edges and
form to be a rippled edge if desired.
- Let dry. The drying process could take from about 1 to 3 days depending on
the humidity, thickness of the doily, and amount of airflow in the area.
- After doily is completely dry, remove from bowl.
- Wash and dry bowl. Discard wax paper.
- Place bowl back inside the doily.
