Footed bowls with Resene Sandtex

Step 1
For this project you need four bowls. Fleur chose two that had a rounded shape for the tops and two that had straight sides for the bases.

Step 2
Sand the bowls with a coarse grit sandpaper and then use some industrial adhesive to glue the bottom of the base bowls (turned upside down) to the bottom of the top bowls. Leave this to cure overnight.

Step 3
Paint the bowls with a coat of Resene Waterborne Smooth Surface Sealer.

Step 4
Once the sealer is dry, paint on two layers of Resene Sandtex. Fleur did two smooth layers but you could apply it roughly to achieve a more textured finish. Make sure you leave the first layer to dry before applying the second layer.

Step 5
When the Resene Sandtex is well dried, apply the final paint colour. For the taller bowl Fleur painted it with two coats of Resene Bokara Grey. For the shorter bowl, Fleur painted it in two coats of Resene Double Parchment.

Step 6
Once this was dry, Fleur used an old toothbrush to flick on Resene Rebel and Resene Cafe Royale.
