Instructions in 4 steps You can use the modelling fabric in a similar way as the plaster strips. If you wrap it around a balloon, you get a bowl that you can decorate to your liking.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Balloon, plastic container, brush

And this is how it works:

Step 1

For the preparation, you need a balloon inflated to the desired size, a support stand (e.g. flower pot) for the balloon and a plastic container filled with water.

Step 2

Cut the modelling fabric into small pieces (about 4-5 cm) and dip them briefly into the water for the first layer, and lay them around the balloon by overlapping them until the desired height of the bowl is reached and a sealed modelling layer is formed. For further layers, continue to work with little water.

Step 3

Let it dry out for about 1 day (the drying time is dependent upon the weather conditions).

Step 4

Then, take carefully the balloon out or release the air with a little prick and remove it. After one more day of drying process, the bowl can be painted and decorated as desired.
