Supplies

Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Balloon
  • Wooden Spoon or Paintbrush


Materials

  • A roll of tissue paper
  • Wheat Flour (g) 
  • Water (ml)
  • Food colouring (optional)

Step 1:

In a bowl put about 5-7 sheets of paper towel in the bowl and make the paper towel wet with water, make sure it is not soaking wet, otherwise it will be difficult for you to separate the sheets when placing them on the balloon.

  • Food Colouring: Follow the given steps but when adding the water also add the food colouring and make sure the tissue paper has fully submerged the food colouring to maintain the colour when dry

Step 2:

Blow your balloon to your preferred size.

Step 3:

In a bowl mix about ¼ cup of flour and add water into the mixture until it is a glue consistency.

Step 4:

Take your balloon and lay one paper towel at a time however you like, make sure after laying one paper towel brush a layer of the flour mixture on top to act as a glue for the paper bowl and for it to keep its shape. 

Step 5:

After layering all your paper towel, let the bowl rest in another bowl letting it dry up to 2-3 days depending on the humidity and weather conditions.
