I saw Button Bowls first time on the 'pinterest'. Since then i wanted to make one for me and show off in my living room. At last, when now i have started blogging, i decided to share it with everyone who comes across my blog on the internet.
1) A balloon .
1) A balloon .
Obviously you need only 1.(this picture from a beautiful animated movie named UP)
2) Some fast glue.
3) Some colored buttons(whichever color you want your bowl to be.)
Step 1 : Blow up a Balloon with air to the size you want your bowl to be. After you do this, place the balloon upside down over a jar or something just to hold it onto 1 place.
Step 2 : Put some glue over the balloon on the rounded part and spread it with the help of a brush or anything you are comfortable with. This is why i suggested to put it over a jar in step 1 so that you donot spill glue over table surface or floor.
Step 3 : Start placing buttons over this glued surface. They must touch each other. Put some more glue over it like painting the buttons with the glue so that they are fastened properly with each other and over the surface. Allow this to settle down completely for some time until the glue is completely dry. This may take few minutes to few hours, depending upon the type of glue you are using.
Step 4 : When it becomes completely dry, blow out the balloon by piercing it with a needle. All thats left would be a bowl made of buttons ! . It is worth trying. you can place it in your living room, guest room, bedroom and use it to carry light weight things.
Try it and send me the images and we will post them along with our post.
