materials needed

White Scribbled Underline

Step 1

Scribble on your bowl

Scribbled Underline

Grab a simple white ceramic bowl and, using a basic black Sharpie, scribble loose and looping patterns all over the surface.

Step 2

Blot rubbing alcohol over the surface

Scribbled Underline

Pour rubbing alcohol onto a crumpled paper towel and blot the surface of the bowl to smudge and smear the marker scribbles.

Step 3

Draw thick shapes

Scribbled Underline

Just layer on some thicker lines and branches randomly over the bowl.

Step 4

Douse bowl with more rubbing alcohol

Scribbled Underline

Puddle some rubbing alcohol on the marker shapes. You can pour directly from the bottle but I found using a spray bottle was very helpful.

Step 5

Coat with Mod Podge (optional)

If you want to add extra durability to your finish you can add a thin coat of glossy Mod Podge.
