Get the Dish...

Here is another quick project for you.  Make yourself a pretty decorative bowl.  All you need is some paper, Mod Podge, and a clear glass bowl of your choice.  Check it out!

Project List
Pretty paper, not too thick
Mod Podge
Paint brush
Scissors
Clear glass bowl with a relatively smooth outer surface
Acrylic craft paint or spray paint
Clear coat (ie; Varathane)

Cut your paper into smaller strips so they are easier to work with when podging them to the exterior of the bowl.  I cut 'curves' along one edge of my pieces so they would match the shape of the top edge of my bowl.  I also cut a circle for the bottom by tracing the bowl. 

Bust out the Mod Podge (I used 'Hard Coat').  Using your brush, apply a layer of MP over the exterior surface of the bowl.  Stick on your pretty paper so the pattern / design is face down.  Do this until the entire bowl is covered.  I did the bottom of my bowl first, then started around the sides, trying to keep the paper as smooth and wrinkle free as possible.

Once your entire bowl is covered in your paper, give it a final coat of MP and let it completely dry.

Finally, give the exterior of the bowl a coat of paint in your choice of colour.  Acrylic craft paint or even spray paint will do.  I do recommend you clear coat the painted side once it's dry so it's more durable.  I painted my bowls exterior with navy blue acrylic craft paint.

Voila!  A pretty bowl!  You could use newspaper clippings, pretty papers, wrapping paper, stamped paper, light weight fabric... so many choices!  Make one as a gift or for yourself :)
