Priming the bowl: step-by-step instructions
Preparing the bowl:
Prime the inside of your decorative rind bowl with a light-colored VBS-handicraft paint. This primer ensures that the colors of the napkin shine more brightly and that the surface is prepared for protection. Allow the paint to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Application of the napkin technique: Coat the dried inside of the bowl evenly with VBS-napkin varnish. This paint serves as an adhesive and sealant for the napkin.
Remove the top, printed layer of the napkin . Carefully place this layer in the tray and press it down gently so that no air bubbles form.
Coat the napkin again with the napkin varnish, to ensure that it adheres well. Leave everything to dry.
Finalizing the napkin technique: Once the shell is completely dry, carefully cut or tear off the excess napkin . Be careful not to cause any cracks in the napkin and work cleanly.
Sealing with cold glaze
Prepare the work area:
Protect your work area with an old tablecloth or carpet pad to avoid stains.
Mix the cold glaze:
Prepare the cold glaze. This consists of two components: Resin and hardener, which are mixed in a 1:1 ratio. The cold glaze is a thin, transparent glaze that you can color as desired. Use resin tinting paint for this.
Mix the resin and hardener in a mini-cup and stir thoroughly until the components are well mixed.
Applying the cold glaze:
Carefully pour the cold glaze into the bowl. Swirl the bowl to distribute the icing evenly. Make sure that the icing covers all areas of the inside.
Time to dry: Leave the bowl to dry for about 24 hours. The cold glaze will harden completely during this time and create a shiny, protective surface.
Decorating the bowl:
Final decoration:
Tie a tasteful satin ribbon around the rim of the bowl to give it a personalized finish.
Place a decorative pine pick next to it to complete the overall look.
