Cut around the edge of the bowl to make a circle of clay.

STEP 3: Shape!

Place the circle of clay over the bottom side of a small bowl.

Press the clay smoothly on the bowl to for the perfect dish shape.

STEP 4: Bake!

Bake the clay right on the bowl on a baking sheet in the oven according to the package directions. (About 275* F for 20 minutes.) Remove from oven and let cool. Then remove the clay dish from the bowl.

STEP 5: Cut the Vinyl!

Now use an electronic cutting machine like a Cricut or Silhouette to cut black vinyl letters, just an inch tall. Use the FREE font THE SKINNY. Pick the word you would like to cut, like BLING and have the machine cut a perfect piece of vinyl.

Weed the excess vinyl out of the skinny letters. Work carefully so the letters don't lift off.

Cover the vinyl with transfer tape and use a scraper to press the transfer tape down.

STEP 6: Apply the vinyl!

Peel the backing off the vinyl and place the letters down on the clay dish.

Press the letters down with the scraper and then gently peel back the transfer tape.

Fill with Bling!

This is a great handmade gift for anyone that loves Rae Dunn and the farmhouse vibe.

Let's be real, it will probably always look like pictured below:
