DIY: GOLD POLKA DOT BOWL

Here's another fun and easy DIY for you guys! If you have seen some of my previous DIYs, you will know that my DIYs are really more for the lazy girl, because they are so darn easy! So staying true to my lazy self, I have managed to create another simple but fun project.

It is no secret that I love Polka dots, and with gold being all the rage these days this pretty little bowl will fit right in! So let's get started.

Materials:

1. White ceramic bowl, or any dish- I scored mine on clearance holiday sale at Chapters-Indigo (I have seen some in the stores still!)

2. Gold oil-based Sharpie

Make sure to clean the dish with soap and water.

Get rid of any marks or stains

Using the Gold Sharpie just start at any point really.

Once you have started, it is easier to go in diagonal line and place the dots about 1 inch apart

And I made a mistake! The dot wasn't fully round so I tried to wipe and it made a bigger mess.

But not to worry, it came off with some nail polish remover (pls don't mind my nails)

Carry on in diagonal pattern till you are fully done

And..Voila! It took be less than 10 mins really. I don't intend to use this bowl for food I am going to stop right here. But if you intend to wash it regularly, make sure to bake it in the oven for 30 mins at 350 deg.

DIY: PAINT WHITE CHINA TEACUP WITH GOLD SHARPIE

Here is another fun and of course EASY DIY. As you may have noticed I don't like to overly complicate things, and I usually look at the amount of time and materials needed, and see if it is worth doing it myself or just buy! So here is another DIY which requires only 2 things!

Inspired by this post I found on Pinterest, I decided to give it a shot and create a mini DIY.

 

Materials:

1. Cup/Mug/Glass of your choice

2. Gold oil Paint Sharpie-make sure it is OIL based not water (from Michaels)

3. Oven (optional) 

4. Nailpolish remover/cotton swab (optional)

So I started with just doing the bottom rim of the cup, and moved over the more fun part, the saucer! 

TIP: If you mess up, just clean it which a cotton swab and nail polish remover. You don't even have to do it right away, if you change your mind even the next day it will come right off with the remover.

I bought this set just because of this cute bow, even in white it looked fine but why not embellish it a little right!

And there you go, all done!
Now you can stop here and use this as a decorative object, but if you intend to use and wash it regularly, make sure to Bake it in the oven.

Recommended time is 30 mins at 350 deg. 

TIP: make sure you place the objects as the oven is warming up, so the china/glass doesn't get temperature shock and shatter into pieces! Also, do the same once done, leave the objects in the oven as it cools. Leave the oven door cracked open for faster cooling.

Only hand wash, not dishwasher or microwave safe, but sure does look pretty!
