Dough bowls have been steadily gaining popularity over the years. I came into contact with one about 12-13 years ago. It was obviously a pretty bowl with a unique shape but I didn’t know what it was used for. These bowls are made of wood and were originally used to make bread dough. Now they are mostly used for decoration!
What to fill a dough bowl with?
For fall – pumpkins, acorns, fall leaves, branches, candles (in a glass container) etc. For winter – ornaments, candles ( in a glass container, branches, winter berries, greenery, ribbon and more.
