Instructions


  1. Step 1 1

    Start with one glass bowl of desired size for each bowl you plan to make. (This will be your mold.)

  2. Step 2 2

    Cover inside of bowl with plastic wrap.

  3. Step 3 3

    Cut paper from magazines, newsprint, scrapbook paper, construction paper, or other. (I used jewelry ads from fashion magazines.)

  4. Step 4 4

    Layer the paper and the glue or Mod Podge in the mold (bowl). Use an old paint brush to smooth the layers. Arrange the colors or pattern facing out for the outside of the bowl.

  5. Step 5 5

    Continue layering to desired thickness.

  6. Step 6 6

    Arrange top layers of inside to desired appearance. Seal in with the white glue (that dries clear) or Mod Podge.

  7. Step 7 7

    Let dry and set up. Let it dry, but not completely.

  8. Step 8 8

    Remove gently from mold.

  9. Step 9 9

    Gently peel off plastic.

  10. Step 10 10

    Seal outside of bowls with more white glue or Mod Podge. Make sure all edges are sealed down and secure.

  11. Step 11 11

    Let dry completely.

  12. Step 12 12

    Trim rough edges if desired.

  13. Step 13 13

    Give another coat or two of Mod Podge or white glue and let dry COMPLETELY. You want to make sure the newly trimmed edges are sealed as well as both the inside and outside.

  14. Step 14 14

    Embellish top with glitter after dipped in white glue or hot glue with pearls (I used pearl wire). Let everything dry.
