Thrift Store Decor: Painted Wooden Bowls

Whether I’m looking for photo props or dresser-top catch-alls, decorative bowls are hard to resist. This is especially true when those delightful containers are painted wooden bowls with custom stenciled patterns!

Transform thrifted wooden bowls into your new favorite jewelry holder or house key tray with adhesive stencils and craft paint in colors that match your decor!

I’ve always loved smart ideas for turning flea market finds into DIY treasures, and this painted wooden bowls tutorial from Haeley at Design Improvised is a wonderful way to do just that.

Plus, you needed a good excuse to go thrifting, right? Of course you did!

Note: As with any DIY paint project, unless you’re using products that are specifically made to be food safe, these bowls should be used for decoration only, not for serving food.
