Fiber Bowl

Hello Everyone!

Today we have a project that can easily be scaled for all FPLS students and community members, we are going to be making fiber bowls!



Materials:
A balloon
Elmer's Glue or Mod-Podge
Buttons or dried flowers as accessories for design
Yarn or String



Directions:

Step One:
Blow up your balloon. Then in a process much like paper mache dip your string or Mod-Podge and then apply it to the bottom (not spout end) of the balloon.

Step Two:
Continue to add your thread and strings in a layering effect so that there is a substantial base for the bowl.

Step Three:
After you have applies all of the strings/yarn to create your bowl shape you may use the same method to apply buttons or dried flowers to the outside of your bowl.

Step Four:
Allow your bowl to sit in the balloon and dry for 1-2 days then using a needle pop the balloon and pull out the balloon remnants. 



As always, have fun and be creative!
