Halloween Treat Bowl

On Monday, Emma & I made a treat "bowl" for her to give to her Mommy. I started with a "bowl" (I couldn't find a round one that I liked), glittery puff paint, regular paint, and a paint brush.


Since the bowl was orange & this was for Halloween, I painted Emma's feet black:


Then I stamped her tiny feet into the middle:


Then, with the glittery puff paint, I wrote:


I was pretty impressed with myself.....until the next morning when I saw that some of the letters were peeling off. I barely touched a few & they came right off of the bowl:


I could not figure out what had happened. I had wanted a ceramic treat bowl, but couldn't find a plain one I could paint on, so when I found this one (which is plastic), I thought it would work just fine. And it would have if I had actually bought puff paint. I didn't. I bought glue:


Apparently I stopped reading after sparkly & glitter. So, I got real puff paint & repainted the words:
















It's not sparkly & glittery, but it was still cute & Amy liked it. =)
I just wish my kids' feet were smaller so I could do this with them. I don't think I want a bowl big enough for Zach's feet now though. ;0)
