Nesting bowls

These are little string bowls I made the other day. They look pretty fantastic in person. And I even found the perfect use for the biggest bowl I made. It now holds cinnamon potpourri.

This bowl was made with two kinds of string and is a slightly smaller version of the potpourri holding one.

Doesn't it look very rustic and and festive?

Here's how you do it.

Supplies: string, scissors, white glue, cling wrap, a rubber band or two, and a couple bowls.

Step 1: Cut the string into pieces, doesn't really matter the length. Mine were about 9 inches long.

Step 2: Take the bowl not used for the form and put a layer of cling wrap in it, holding it in place with a rubber band outside

the bowl.

Step 3: Put the cut string in the cling wrap bowl and cover, generously, with white glue.

Step 4: Cling wrap the outside of a bowl, the size you want to use as your form. Hold the cling wrap tight with a rubberband at the rim. Lay it open end down.

Step 5: Apply string after string to the bowl, making sure that it has lots of places they over lap. Let dry and peel off your new string bowl from its form.

It's really quite simple and fun. Also been done with balloons and such.
