Luck O’ The Irish Dough Bowl

February 4, 2025 by Kimberly Snyder 4 Comments

Let the wee little leprechaun share his luck with you while we style this dough bowl for St Patrick’s Day!

Dough Bowl Centerpiece for St Patrick’s Day!

I love decorating with dough bowls!  Round, square, oval, oblong…. whatever shape I can find, I love them all!  To design a dough bowl for St Patrick’s Day, I decided to use a round dough bowl.  This one isn’t quite as deep as my other round dough bowl.  The one pictured below is 15 inch in diameter and about 3 inches deep.

The price will be the same whether you use the affiliate link or go directly to the vendor’s website using a non-affiliate link.  By using my affiliate links to shop, it helps me to be able to continue bringing you fresh new ideas and projects!  Thank you! 

Dough bowls get their name from their original purpose: making bread dough!  An antique dough bowl was a great place for the bread dough to rise as the wood helped retain the heat which in turn helped the dough rise.  Every kitchen had a least one dough bowl and they were often times handed down through the generations.  Antique dough bowls are also sometimes referred to as trenchers.  Now, instead of being used to actually make dough, they have become a decorating staple especially for Farmhouse decor.

After you have decided which dough bowl to use for your St Patrick’s Day display, the next step is to gather all the elements that you think you might want to use in your bowl.  You might have more things in your “pile” than you end up using but that is ok!

In order to put this dough bowl display together, I am going to start with the beaded ribbon that is in the oblong mini dough bowl in the left hand corner.  Below is a close up of the ribbon. The ribbon is going to line the bottom edge of the bowl.

The ribbon is such a pretty color and adds a bit of shimmer to the display.  I used in this Christmas display pictured below.  I made a toboggan out of it for the snowman to ride!

I am also going to use the “gold” Leprechaun coins.  What is St Patrick’s Day without a pot of gold?  The coins are scattered along the bottom of the bowl. The upside down lid with the scalloped edge is going to become the topper for the pedestal the leprechaun is standing on.  It will make more sense in a minute when you see it!

St Patrick's Day coins

To make a pedestal for the leprechaun to stand on, I took the left over wooden insert from a spool of Oasis muslin ribbon and placed it in the center of the bowl.  Then I topped it off with that cute polka dotted scalloped edge lid, which I also kept from a candle. Keeping things like that are one of the reasons my husband thinks I am a hoarder.  I am not a hoarder, I am a creator and I like to have a lot of options!

I placed the wooden spool in a cream and green berry ring that I have had for ages.  To finish off the display, I used a little leprechaun hat pin I found when going through my Mom’s things. Actually, the leprechaun is actually an Irish Santa that was part of my Mom’s Santa collection.  I kept it since it was so cute!

The finished dough bowl!

I don’t talk about my faith a lot. I do believe I don’t talk about my faith a lot.  I do believe God puts certain people in your path for a reason.  An example of this occurred on Tuesday.  It was colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy day.  I was really nervous about how it would all work since it was my first time since I had my cancer surgery. 

 The nurse that was taking care of me in the pre op area turned out to be the same nurse who had prayed for me last year. My husband was in the parking lot of the medical center speaking with his friend who happened to work at the center with this particular nurse. I was very sick at the time and they prayed for my healing.  It was great to be able to thank her in person and let her see that the prayers had been answered. ❤️

Then the anesthesiologist came in and told me about his cousin who had also been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer about a year ago. He mentioned some of the treatments his cousin had had and how important a positive attitude is.  I was touched that he took the time to tell me about his cousin’s experience. 

 We had arranged in advance to have my husband’s friend as the nurse anesthesist.  He was able to pray with us as well as reassure us about the procedure.

The procedure went well. The three polyps that the surgeon removed were sent to pathology.  The report is already back and there no evidence of cancer.  Prayers were answered again❤️
