Vase and bowl made from papier-mâché

Papier-mâché bowl Inflate a balloon to 13 cm in diameter and tie a knot in the balloon.

2 Take half of your papier-mâché and mix it with water as indicated on the packaging. Now place your balloon in a bowl so that it doesn't roll around when you start to apply the papier-mâché. Cover just under half of the balloon with a thick layer of papier-mâché. It's important to keep the rustic look. Finish by flattening the base so that the bowl can stand unsupported after drying. Allow the papier-mâché to dry.

3 When the bowl is dry, remove the balloon and paint the bowl in the desired colour.

Papier-mâché vase Find a used 0.5 L-sized bottle and cut off the top.

5 Twist the bottle in the middle.

6 Take half of your papier-mâché and mix it with water as indicated on the packaging. Now cover the vase with your papier-mâché.

7 Smooth the papier-mâché with your fingers so that it does not crack during the drying process.

8 Make sure to apply some papier-mâché to the upper inner edge of the vase so that the plastic bottle is not visible.

9 Finally, make small indentations in the papier-mâché with your fingers – this creates a rustic look. Now let the vase dry.

10 When the vase is dry, paint it in the desired colour. Once the paint is dry, your vase is ready to use.
