In my country, serpentine paper (used at parties) is mainly used in carnival. Once I find it a great waste, I decided to do something more useful with this.
The good thing of the ceramic paper is if you have children at home! This ceramics is unbreakable, proof of destroyers!
Here, learning to make a pot with lid, but the possibilities is immense! Just use your imagination....

Material:
PVA glue
Serpentine paper (Coil paper)
A flat surface (easier to roll)
Let’s do it!

Step 1: Roll and roll


Get a roll of serpentine.
Look for the inner tip.
Try to roll the fairest possible. (see picture).
Holding the center with your index finger and the thumb on the opposite side, rotate the roller with the other hand (thumb and forefinger). This will cause the roll becomes increasingly tight.
You can also gently pull the strip outside and you'll hear a noise. This noise means that the coil is getting tighter. Do not worry if this operation to strip breakage makes sure that the roller is tight and glue the broken tip. Continue rolling until the end of roll serpentine.
If all goes well, you have a small roll as in a picture.
Get another roll of serpentine. Place the little roll inside the second roll of serpentine (see the picture). Caution with the position in which a roller is inside the other, since we continue rolling, tips should be in a continuing position. Glue one end to the other and continue to roll.

I'm going to make an assumption here. I'm betting that "PVA" glue (not PVC) is basically the same as our "Elmer's" glue. Nice Instructable!

Yes! Elmer glue is a PVA glue. But there are also strong pva glues, used for construction, these are more powerful. The choice must be made in accordance with the intended use, but both types are correct.
Thanks

really beautiful. is pvc glue food-safe? can i use it to hold fruit?

I suppose that if you use a children PVA glue (like Elmer), it is OK. But I think that is a better idea make this arround a plastc or acrilic bowl, This makes it easy to clean. Just make a "spiral" slightly larger than the bowl. Maybe some kind of varnish to solve the problem of non-toxic cleaning...

Thanks

PVA glue should be OK. It's the same stuff that kids use to make craft projects, and I think some seed bells for bird feeding are made with it.
