Given a box of doileys etc from deceased estate. Thought now wouldn't it be nice to do a bowl for the daughter and grandaughter from estate, What fun i had with glue bowl and clingwrap. Got 9 more in the assembly line .. :)

Now they are going to think, 'why did I give them away?" This is a nice idea. What kind of glue did you use? Did you use a real bowl for the mold? I am curious since I have never seen anyone do this.

Thanks Toogie. I just used wood/graft glue i had on hand. A small paint brush and a glass mixing bowl to suit. Be sure to cover bowl with cling wrap 1st. Took close on 24hrs to dry completly. Make sure the doily is well covered in glue :))

I think that was a great idea for them. They are lovely. I have not done this in years. You could choose a fsl angel and add her or some fsl onto which would make it added special. I have thought about doing that to save the extra stitching time involved making bowl.

This is a wonderful remembrance for them, clever idea, simple yet pretty and elegant too. I'll be starch would also work, soak it in the solution, then let air dry over a bowl. Hmmmm?

What a great idea! We have a huge box of doilies that are sitting in the closet. I might just take a few and do this! Thanks for the inspiration!
