Oh, dude, I remember trying to make this years and years ago (when I was, like, thirteen) and I never did finish it because I couldn't find any varnish. Now I can make one for real!Happy

mine turned out kind of weird maybe it will look better when I put varnish/PVA glue on it

the drastically hateful comments on this project are unnecessary and excessive in my opinion. this is a website to share and encourage. maybe you just aren't good at this kind of project and could word your statements in a more productive manor. maybe? who knows. i could be wrong. I found this project extremely time consuming yet fun in the end! Next time I'm going to do this with a group of people (at least the folding part)

Can't wait to make this! I think gluing a strip of ribbon to the outer rim on the top would be super cute. maybe add a little bow or some buttons?...hmmmm...

hey friends
I didn't use varnish, I just used watered down PVA glue
Yeah, You could try with the phone book but it mightn't be stiff enough? you know?
You probably don't have to glue the final fold together but it makes it a bit easier.
And fwermog d., sorry my bowls aren't good enough for you! GOSH!
Happy
happy crafting

what a waste of time. first of all these are really bad instructions. Second if you plan to make a big bowl like i did it will not work. There is no support in the bowl it will collapse in on itself. Varnish sucks as well on it. Please save yourself the time and do another project. with the amount of time i spent on this waste of paper i could have done something more productive.
