Aztec Inspired Clay Bowl Makeover

by Anam - Delicious And DIY

This Earthen Clay Bowl got an Aztec Inspired Makeover with some paint and Gold Sharpie.

aztec inspired clay bowl makeover, crafts, repurposing upcycling

The bowl before was a simple Terra Cotta Bowl.

I first painted the entire bowl in a bright orange color.When it dried it looked a bit similar to the bowl before it was painted but at least it was a bit more vibrant now.

For the Aztec Design part I cut out stencils from an old newspaper nothing to fancy. Cut out two sizes one was large and the other one was a bit smaller.

I randomly drew a design and cut it out equally. Well I "tried" to cut it out equally.

I placed the larger stencil in the middle and traced an outline with a pencil and the smaller stencils i traced around the entire rim of the bowl.

After that I took out my white paint and with a really thin pointed brush started filling in the design.

When that was all filled and painted, I went over the larger design in the middle with Pastel Green Paint and outlined the entire design.

And of course as always at the End like every project that I do I had to outline all the designs with my Gold Sharpie.I just had to. I can't stop.

And that was it. All Done.
