DIY Halloween Treat Bowl
This post was originally created by me for Darice. Do you do Halloween decorations in your house? If so, do you go scary, gory, cutesy - what's the look you like? Sometimes I really like pretty Halloween - black and white florals, jeweled skulls - that kind of thing. That's the look I went for with this DIY trick or treat bowl. The finished Halloween DIY bowl is a little spooky, but mostly pretty and sophisticated, and I am really happy with the way this project came out. I love that it's so glossy - I think it gives it a nice professional look. The trick to getting that polished finish is applying the printed elements and paint to the interior of the bowl and letting them shine through the plastic. It's kind of a lot of fun.
