I found a set of blue and white Lenox Chinastone pieces at my local Goodwill.

Once I brought them home, I knew exactly what to do with two of the bowls; DIY new food bowls for our cat!

I started by painting (2) wood round pedestals with a STAALMEESTER Pointed Sash Brush and Fusion All In One paint in the color Raw Silk.

I applied 1 coat of paint to the entire wood pedestal.

I decided that I did wanted mine to have a little bit of an aged look so I used sand paper to lightly distress the edges.

Fusion Paint does have a built in sealer so if you like the full painted look - you do not have to distress.

Next, I used the IOD Stamp Collection - Apothecary Labels to add words on the side of the wooden pedestals.

To personalize the pet food bowls, I chose to spell out "WATER" and "FOOD."

I arranged the letters to form each word, ensuring they were evenly spaced.

To add an extra touch, I decided to use the Alphabellies Stamp Collection, which includes charming floral embellishment stamps. I positioned these stamps along the sides of the words for some added flair.

Next, I gently pressed my thin mount into the letters to lift them up for stamping.

Then, I used IOD Stone Gray Ink and an Ink Pad to ink up my stamps.

Stamping around a curved surface can be tricky, so using both hands is essential.

Carefully and slowly, I press the stamp from one side to the other.

How cute is that? I also created one that says food.

The final step is to attach the bowls to the pedestals.

I wanted the flexibility to remove them later, but I didn't want them sliding around, so I secured them in place with a hot glue gun.

Once I applied the hot glue to the underside of the bowl, I firmly pressed them into the pedestals.

And that’s it! These DIY pet food bowls turned out SO good.

They blend in with my farmhouse home decor so well!
