This is a little late. I was out of town last week (I have SOOO much to show you too and I’m super excited about it! Some from the trip and a tutorial too).
P.S. Flying on a plane for over 8 hours with a one year old is NOT on any list of mine except the do.not.do! : )
Here was my dollar store craft!
Stay tuned for my Knock off project that won last week : )
Check it out as So You Think You’re Crafty and vote for this weeks theme Upcycled!

I had such a hard time with this challenge. I went to 3 dollar stores for inspiration and kept coming up with ideas but I couldn’t finish them in my head. I normally just lay everything out and put stuff together, but since I couldn’t take the whole store home. I had to figure something out. This is what came out.
A shabby chic inspired bowl from the dollar store! I was so happy!! I knew I wanted to be able to use this project in my own house, and I had an empty place on a desk. : )
I used a hideously ugly pee colored plastic bowl, but with nice lines, and some fake flowers. I decoupaged some old scrap fabric onto the bowl, embellished – AND I was done! Super easy and super messy (since I pretty much had to use my fingers in the decoupage).

Your knock off ROCKED the house girl!! :) I am so proud of you and can't wait to hear about your trip!!! I've missed you and have some updates for you too :)
hugs!!
I love Shabby Chic and the pretty colored papers you used. I love to deoupage with scrapbook paper too, but have never thought to try a bowl. You are very talented to attempt something shaped. I find it easier to work with a sold piece. Thank you for inspiring me to branch out for a future project.
This is very pretty. Where did you buy the fabric? I'm going to pin it on Pinterest. Thanks, Katharine

Ooo! I really like the paper that you used to put on the bowl. Nice!
