I made a paper mache bowl!

My bowl is very flexible so I would recommend not putting heavy things in it.

Also this bowl is not water proof.

Take the strips and dip them into the plaster.

Pinch the strip and pull down gently this should take the left over plaster off.

Then cover the top half of the balloon.

leave it to dry over night

Painting

In the morning pop the balloon the balloon should come right out.

After cut the bowl so the edges are level to each other.

Then you can paint your bowl any color you want.

You are done, thank you for making my project!
