This easy to make candy bowl will delight your guests as they reach in for a Halloween treat. <\/p>\n
What you will need:<\/em><\/p>\n •Large Balloon Directions for the project-<\/u>Blow up a balloon and set it inside a tight bowl to hold it upright. Mix one part flour with two parts water. Mix thoroughly. Your solution should be the consistency of wall paper paste. Add more water or flour if necessary. Tear paper into 1-1\/2″ strips and dip them into the paste. Run a strip between two fingers to get off excess paste. Lay the strip on the balloon, smoothing it out. Continue until the top half of the balloon is covered with two or three layers. Let dry overnight. Mix up another batch of paper mache glue. Turn the balloon over and cover the bottom half of the balloon with two or three layers. Let dry overnight. Cut off the tied end to deflate balloon. Pull it out and discard. Cut off the bottom of the balloon all around to create a base for the bowl to sit on. Cut a circle out of a piece of cardboard and hot glue it inside the bottom of the bowl. Cut the top off. Poke a hole in each side of the “neck” for bolts. Paint green and let dry. Paint a fringe in black along the top of the bowl for hair. Glue on eyes and nose. Draw on mouth. Push bolts into the neck holes, securing with hot glue. Fill with bags of candy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
