Sequin Accent Bowl

Sequin Accent Bowl

This bowl is super cute and was fun and pretty easy to make! I made this as a gift for my roommate she was super excited and is using it as a key holder by the door.

Supplies

One large bag of confetti (shape and color up to you, although I would suggest using a rounder

                                           confetti the points on the stars in this were hard to work with)

Mod Podge

sponge brush

balloon

What you do:

- Blow up the balloon so the largest part represents the size of the bowl you are wanting.

- Apply a layer of mod podge followed by sequins around the portion of the balloon acting as the shape for the bowl, I suggest about a third of the way up the balloon.

- Allow this layer to dry. Then repeat adding layers until the entire balloon around the area is covered and the desired thickness is reached. The more layers you add the stronger your bowl will be.

- Once your final layer has dried, prick the balloon and allow the air to run out slowly and your bowl will peel right off the deflated balloon.

- Trim the edges or leave them how they come off that is up to you.

In the original post they show a glass vase the purpose of this is to keep the balloon from rolling all over the place while you are working on it. A glass cup will also work just as well if you need to you can even tape the balloon to the cup.

(Caution: this bowl will bend and change shape so be careful with storage or you may end up with a misshapen bowl.)

The original post for this idea was in another language but it provided great pictures for what the steps were. Here is the original post I used:  http://www.muyingenioso.com/bol-de-confeti/
