Green Bowls

What You'll Need:

Homemade Glue

Flour

Water

Recycled Paper

Vaseline/Petroleum Jelly

Bowl

 

 

Create your own glue:

1 part flour : 3 parts water

Heat over low/medium heat.

Stir constantly until all bubbles, clumps are smoothed.





Find recycled paper, old construction paper bits, leftover newspaper, etc.
Using a plastic or metal bowl, lightly line bowl with Vaseline or petroleum jelly to prevent paper from sticking.
Add pieces of paper and apply thin layer of homemade paste to paper.

Continue to add paper and glue until at least 7 layers of paper are complete.

Allow to fully dry.

Slowly remove from plastic shaped bowl.

You have created a recycled bowl to use as is, or make it more personal and paint it!
