1 Cover a work
surface in
n e w s p a p e r .
Mix up your paper
mache glue in a mixing
bowl. Tear your paper
into strips. Set out your
mould.
2 For easy
s e p a r a t i o n
of the paper
and mould later, cover
your mould with plastic
wrap.
3 Paint plastic
wrap with glue.
Put a strip of
paper onto the mould.
Smooth with downward
strokes with a glue
coated brush. Continue
layering. Each extra
layer will make your
bowl stronger.
4 When you’re
fnished set it
aside to dry.
This might take a while
but leave it on the
mould so that it keeps
it’s shape. Then remove
mould and plastic.

lace effect,
frstly draw
your cut-out patterns
on the outside of your
paper bowl in felt pen.
Remember the more
holes, the weaker your
bowl will get.
6 Cut your
pattern with
scissors. You
can also glue leaves,
owers, sequins or
decoration onto the
outside of your bowl.
Things you need:Paper doilies, coloured tissue paper or crepe paper
