Buttons – they just appear out of nowhere. If you’ve run out of art ideas with that heap of buttons, try making a bowl with it!
Materials:
- Lots of buttons
- Balloon
- Vase (or any container where you can stand the balloon)
- White Glue (Elmer’s glue)
- Paint brush
Steps:
Blow the balloon up to your desired size of the bowl.
Make it stand on the vase, while you brush half of the balloon with glue. Let it dry completely. This will serve as a protective coating for the bowl.
When dry, brush with glue the second time around, and then stick the buttons one by one and as close to each other as possible.
After you have put all the buttons, leave it standing on the vase for around 5 hours to dry completely.
Then add a third coating of glue. Let id dry overnight. You can even do a fourth coating if you want to be sure of its strength. Just make sure you let it dry well before removing the balloon.
Don’t pop the balloon! Use the scissors to make a small cut on it and gently let air out. And there you have it!
