DIY PET BOWLS for MY DOG

I have a dog whose name is Nancy. She is a part of my family, and I love finding new ways to show my love and affection. So I decide to make a personalized pet bowl for her. I don't want dog bones – I want something that fits my style and doesn't stand out like a sore thumb in my home. I decide on one pattern to create in fun, playful color palettes for the pet bowl.

Supplies:

• small, plain ceramic or glass bowls
• acrylic craft paints
• paper plates
• sponge
• scissors
• pencil
• paper towels

Before I start I make sure to wash and dry the bowls thoroughly to remove any debris. After squirting some paints (neon pink, olive green, and black) on a paper dish I dive right into a grid-like dot pattern. Using a pencil eraser dipped into the paint I freehand a pattern of five by four dots in the olive green. I then repeat the process with the neon pink and black, staggering the grid by skipping a dot-sized width and moving the pattern down one row.

The end result remind me of that pure sugar dot candy of our childhoods! And I'd be lying if I don't admit I kind of want my own bowl now just like this.

Now, my dog Nancy eat its food in this bowl. Though she may not notice what they are eating out of, I'd like to think that I’m WOW-ing them a little with my effort.
