Love the yarn bowls but don’t want to spend the money to purchase one? You can easily DIY your own with 3 ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen!

Materials:
1 Cup All-Purpose White Flour
1 Cup Salt
1 Cup Water
Rolling Pin
Bowl
Oven (optional)
Paint (optional)
Step 1:
Mix the three ingredients together in a large bowl or stand mixer. Add additional flour to a clean surface so the dough doesn’t stick.
Step 2:
Roll out the dough with the rolling pin on your surface until all the areas are the same thickness.
Step 3:
Place the dough into your bowl of choice and press the dough onto the sides. I chose one that was oven safe and a size that would work for a yarn bowl.
Take a knitting needle or something with a skewer type end and make a hole in the side of the bowl big enough for the yarn to come through it.
Step 4:
If you want to bake your dough in the oven, heat the oven to 200-225 degrees. Place your bowl in the oven for 4-5 hours, or until completely dry.
If you want to air dry it, leave it in the bowl on the counter for approximately 5-7 days. This process definitely takes the longest!
Step 5:
Once your bowl is completely dry, remove it from the bowl you used as the mold. You may need to use a knife or something to loosen up the edges a bit.
Step 6: (optional)
Spray paint your bowl to make it look pretty! I put my bowl in a cardboard box so I could contain the spray paint and not make a giant mess indoors. I used Rust-Oleum Metallic Spray. I seriously love this stuff!
Cool idea!!
Thank you, Brandy! 🙂
