The Dough Bowl Divas

At the start of 2021, a group of my favorite bloggers and I came together to form something special: we call ourselves, The Dough Bowl Divas. Every month we host an incredible challenge for all decorators – experienced or novice! It does not matter if you own a dough bowl; even those who don’t can join and have fun with it. (don’t have one, click here) Not only that, but each lucky winner receives their very own prize from the gang at Dough Bowl Divas!

Wintery Wonderland

When decorating for winter, opt for soft colors such as ivory, cream, silver or gold. Fill your dough bowl with white or silver accents and natural elements such as pine cones and evergreen branches are another option. You can also find faux snowballs at most craft stores that will add an extra layer of texture without leaving behind any mess when they melt! Add some white candles or fairy lights around the edges of the bowl for a subtle touch of sparkle.

Spring Fling

When spring comes around, it’s time to pull out all the stops! Create a bright and cheerful display using brightly colored flowers such as tulips or daisies or delicate roses. Place them inside the bowl along with a variety of tea cups and candy. You can even add some colorful ribbons or other decorative items that match your springtime theme! Finally, use candle holders tied with ribbon or try mason jars filled with small stones and tea lights to finish off the look.

Summer Soiree

Let summer come alive in your home by creating a bright display inside your dough bowl! Start by adding dried wheat stalks which give off more of a rustic vibe when compared to traditional flowers. Then use shells (real or faux!) in shades of pink and blue along with summer themed trinkets like flip flops or beach balls to really get into the spirit of summertime fun! Finish off with string lights draped across the sides so you can enjoy this look day after night.

Autumn Dough Bowl

Use dough bowls as a way to create a cozy autumn atmosphere in your home. Place dough bowls filled with potpourri, mini-pumpkins, gourds, artificial fall leaves, or other seasonal goodies in various spaces of your house to add a unique touch. Bowls can be set out on tables or counters while still looking great, and they work well as centerpieces alongside festive candles and delicious treats like apples, pears, and cinnamon rolls. And when the season is over? Instead of decorating for the holidays, use dough bowls to display cherished items like family photos or small picture frames for year-round ambiance.
