It's beautiful!!! But, did you use a "food-safe" or food-grade" paint for this?

[@sabujjana337]

it's beautiful and thanks to saw me it

[@marthalofton1848]

am working on one bowl now. am watching the video over and over even if I have the written instructions. using hot glue instead of the white glue. may just use the bowl for fake flowers or fake fruit. . so I will varnish it .

[@rayas_instyle]

+Martha Lofton thank you for taking your time to watch our video. Varnish definitely gives a glossy finish making it more attractive. All the best for your craft. Happy Crafting!!!

[@aparnasurat1951]

you use jumbo sticks or regular small sticks? and we can use the same olive oil and vinegar coating for making shelves also right istead of varnishing coating?

[@rayas_instyle]

+aparna surat I've used regular small sticks. Yes you can use the same olive oil + vinegar coating. Only drawback of using this coating is that you will have to reapply the coating from time to time to maintain the glossy finish. Varnish can be used for items that does not hold any eatables.
