first, cut up some lanyard string into tiny pieces

until you have enough to cover the bottom of the saucepan.

now, get the saucepan

and cover it in tin foil.

next, pour the lanyard pieces into the saucepan.

now spread them out evenly accross the bottom of the saucepan. make sure there are no big holes or big piles of lanyard pieces.

next, put it in the oven at 435 degrees for 10 minutes.

after the 10 minutes are up take it out of the oven ( using the oven mits). then let it sit and cool off for about a minute.

then take the newly created plastic disc out of the pan.

the disc should look something like this. you can set the disc to the side for now.

now take a bowl that is the size of the bowl you want to make,like this

and wrap it in tin foil.

now turn the bowl upsidedown on a pan of some sort. then set the plastic disc on top if the bowl.

next put it in the oven at, yet again, 435 degrees

then take it out once the plastic has melted down like this. that should take about 2-5 minutes.

now, take the plastic bowl off of the bowl and set it in the bowl, like this, to cool off for about 3 minutes.

then take the new plastic bowl out and enjoy it! i hope you enjoyed this project :)
