I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! What’s better than an ice cold treat served up in a confetti bowl?! We were so sad to have to wrap up our Spring Break week. We had a wonderful time soaking up the sun and enjoying unscheduled time as a family. Ice cream seemed like a fun way to end the week! These are so easy to make. In fact, each bowl only took me five minutes. And while they can be used for a million different things, dessert seemed to be calling our name. 
The inspiration came from this darling card I was sent by Jennifer. It was sitting on our table and suddenly I had the urge to make some confetti bowls. 
All you need is some dishwasher safe craft paint and Q-tips. I am a huge fan of the Martha Stewart line of craft paint. The Q-tips are key for the perfect size polka dot. I simply used a different one for each paint color. 
My white bowls came from here. {I think there is free shipping right now}. They are an ideal size for ice cream, cereal, and soups around here. We love them. I still have an all white set and now have a fun colorful set for special events and holidays. 
Just be careful not to touch the sides of the bowl as you move around the edge. I did one paint color all the way around and then switched to the next. Seriously, a five minute project. The paint is non-toxic but not food safe, so always stick to decorating the outside of your bowls or the rim of dishes. 
With all of our birthdays coming up, I think they will be a fun way to make our kiddos feel special. I may even make a little set of dessert dishes. Wrapped up with a bow they could be a really fun gift to give. 
Are you hungry for ice cream now?! These really are easy enough to make that if you have little ones you could make it a fun project. They would make for a very colorful Eater table when dessert rolls around. Cheers to happy bowls of ice cream and to a great week ahead. {Cute cake stand is a HomeGoods find}. I must have a thing for confetti. I made gold confetti glasses here. A big thank you to the editors of Martha Stewart Living for providing the paint as part of the #12MonthsofMartha program! Idea and opinions are mine. Always.
These are so cute and I think I could even do this! Did you have to do anything to make them washable?
Thank you!! You can cure them in the oven on 350 for 30 minutes!
These are so adorable Courtney! Love them!
Thank you, Becky!!! So easy!
Just adorable, as usual. Will the paint rub off? They are perfect for a little kid birthday party. I love your ideas. Keep up the great work! Xo
You are so kind. No, you can cure them and they should stay perfect!
Really cute! Do you wash them by hand?
THank you! Dishwasher safe as long as you wait 21 days or cure in oven for 30 minutes
This might be one of the cutest DIY's I've seen in a long time. And, the colors are perfect for spring! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
