There’s nothing worse than being sick! I can handle a sniffling and sneezing preschooler. I can handle myself feeling run down and just wanting to crawl back under the covers. But a sick husband takes the cake! There’s nothing harder than a grown man lounging around all sad and miserable because he has a cold.

So when that special person comes down with a case of the chills, nurse them back to health with a DIY get well soon gift basket complete with a DIY “get better” chicken soup bowl. And get that 40-something year old husband off  the couch even faster!

How to Make a Painted Chicken Soup Bowl

There’s nothing quite like a bowl of hot Campbell’s® soup when you’re feeling crummy. It warms you up when you need it most without any artificial colors/flavors. And putting soup in a fun get better bowl may bring a small (sad) smile to that under-the-weather person today!

Sketch out a simple design onto a white porcelain soup bowl. I used a pencil to do this.

Use craft acrylic paints (or Sharpie markers) to bring that sketch to life.

Look at this cute bandage! Who wouldn’t get better for this guy?!

Let the bowl dry. Place the bowl into a cold oven and preheat it to 300°. Let it “bake” for 30 minutes. This will help seal in the paint and protect your design.
