I love this blog hop; it gets my creative juice flowing. I don’t do as many crafts as I would like to do. Today’s craft I am going to create a high-end bowl that you might find a lot in decorator’s list of must haves.

DIY Restoration Hardware DUPE

The items you will need to recreate the high-end bowl:

bowl
saran wrap
oil (I used spray oil)
hot water
joint compound mixture
organic peat cell
container for mixing
rubber gloves

Prepare the organic peat.

Bring 3 cups of water to a boil.

While the water is boiling, tear up two of the cells in small pieces.

Pour 3 cups of water into the ripped peat pieces.

Let sit for 20 minutes.

Prepare the bowl form.

Wrap the entire bottom of the bowl in saran wrap.

Spray the wrapped bowl with oil.

Drain the excess water from the peat pieces.
Squeeze out all water as possible.
Add one cup of joint compound to the peat mixture.
Mix well.

Form the bowl.

Apply layers of the peat mixture to the saran wrapped bowl.

Form the shape of the bowl you want. The thicker the mixture the better.

Let dry several days. It says only hours, but it took two days for mine to dry.

Remove the saran wrapped bowl from the peat formed bowl.

Let it dry for another 2 hours.

For my bowl, I am leaving it exactly the same. You could shape your bowl with sand paper or paint it to the color you want. I like how mine looks just like it is.

Take a look at how my bowl looks styled on my entryway table.

It could be used to place keys or other small personal items in or just for styling. Other way, it’s a beautiful budget friendly piece to style in our home.
