To make your bowl stand without rolling you can slightly push in the bottom of the bowl or glue a pipe cleaner in a circular shape on the bottom of the bowl.

How to Make

Step 1

Papier-mâché Halloween Treat Bowls

Firstly, cut out squares of black tissue paper.
Then blow up a balloon.
Place the balloon in a bowl or container that will stabilise the balloon. Then use masking tape to tape it to the chosen container.

Step 2

Mix pva glue with water to create a thinner consistency. Begin painting a layer of the watered down pva glue on the balloon.
Begin sticking the black tissue paper to the balloon to create the bowl shape. Continue to glue and layer more tissue paper on top, do 3-5 layers.
Allow to dry overnight.
Then, pop the balloon, you may need to cut around the edge to make the bowl neater.
