Today I am so happy to have Kylee and Tara fromThe Mud Pie Makersdoing a guest post.
confirm you congratulate them on their recent 100th post Anniversary Congratulations ladies!
Its such a joy to be guest-posting for Beth today!
Instead, I had this rounded-square bowl in my cupboard that would work perfectly.
You could use a square Pyrex dish, a rectangle dish, or a large round mixing bowl.
Even a combination of shapes would make a fun design!
You probably want your bowl to be approx.
10-12 inches diameter.Measure your bowl and then determine the center of your canvas width.
Make some pencil dots to mark the center and give yourself some guides for the squares.
I painted the lines as evenly as I could, knowing they would not be perfect without tape guides.
A stiff brush really helped.
I love these 4 whimsical numerals.
Measure the placement if you want to be preciseIm more of an eyeball-it kind of girl.
Holding the stencil with one hand, I dabbed the paint inside (not too thick!)
3 1/2 x 3 1/2.
With a 1/2 seam allowance, they turned out to be 2 1/2 square.
Stitch around 3 sides and the very edge and corners of the fourth side, leaving 2 inches open.
Clip all the corners, then turn right side out and poke out corners.
Thanks Kylee and Tara, that looks easy enough for even me to do!
