Papier Maché Candy Bowls

Supplies:

Method:

Blow up your balloon to the size that you want your bowl to be.
Apply a thin layer of Vaseline to the balloon. (This will make the balloon easier to remove at the end).
In a container mix a small amount of water with PVA glue.
Add pieces of magazine/newspaper/toilet roll to the balloon & glue them down, do this until the balloon is 3/4 of the way covered.
You can add more layers if you wish (This will make the bowl thicker & sturdier) then place the balloons into a cupcake/muffin tray to dry.
When it is fully dry, pop the balloon & remove it from the bowl.
Paint the bowl white (this lets the other colours you paint later on come through stronger).
When the white layer is dry, paint your base colours onto the bowl (you can choose whatever Halloween characters you want, in this case I painted 2 characters per bowl).
When your base colour is dry you can then add your characters facial features.
Allow to dry.
