This is brilliant and a fun way to give life to that set of bowls. I would have never thought of doing anything like this to a bowl but I do like how they look. Just a few coats of paint and they're ready to use. I don't know if you can use them in the microwave but I do know they're probably better off as fruit bowls.

Oh my these lace bowls are so llovely and woulld make some great gifts for a bridal shower,birthday gift,Mother's Day, housewarming or just for yourself or someone special. I love the look. I will be making a lot of these once I get the hang of it. I think I may even do the lace a darker or lighter color to give it that pop. Nice tutorial. Looks very simple. Thanks.

How could I even use these pretty lace bowls. I would love to use these bowls during parties and other special occasions.

Using lace with bowls is a different look. As an alternative to attaching actual lace, you could use a very stiff and open lace weave as a stencil, and make the impression of the lace on the outside using another color or the lighter or darker version of the same color family. This would be a neat way to use lace tri used in a bridal,gown that could carry a little souvenir of the dress to each of the bridesmaids as a gift. Fun project!

I'm guessing they are food safe. But we wouldn't be painting the inside of the bowl. The extra touch of that lace, colored/painted to decorate the bowl makes a sweet and vintage look. How cute if you are in charge of the bridal shower- put this on each table with those pastel butter mints with a silver spoon for serving. Yay!

These bowls would make an adorable and inexpensive gift for someone. They look very easy to make and still look like a substantive gift to give. Look forward to trying this out.

This is a perfect way to have really cute bowls without having to spend a bunch of money! My only questions would be how the lace would hold up when you need to wash them? Would that even be an issue?

@margiekins22 I would suggest only using these for display or for organizing non-food items. That way you can just wipe the inside out with a damp cloth. I imagine the lace may get damaged if you tried to submerge it in water. Hope that helps! -Kaylee, Editor of FaveCrafts.com

Wow! This is a brilliant idea. I thought at first I needed to crochet those lace decoration on the bowl but no, they are ready-made lace that can be adorned on the side of the bowls. This is really good taste. Thanks for sharing.
