I’ve made a few pinatas from paper mâché. Haven’t attempted a bowl though

yes this will make for an awesome personalised gift especially for grandparents

How fun! The little ones would feel like artists as well

A beautiful craft and gift giving idea; thanks!.

It is raining outside need something to do so this looks like great fun

We used a similar method to reinforce a carton. We glued strips of newspaper on it, letting some dry before we put more on. We then put some plain paper on it, let it dry and stuck pictures on it. They didn’t have to be cut out perfectly. We overlapped them. A few days later when we were sure it was 100% dry. We gave it a coat of clear lacquer. In it we stored pictures and photos we had saved to use as illustrations for school assignments. Some of them we saved from travel brochures, magazines, newspaper clippings. Sometimes the information on the same sheets of paper were outdated so we only used the pictures etc. At the time it was fun finding them rather than watch TV programs that weren’t suitable for us, particularly in cold wet weather.

Thanks for sharing yet another great craft project! these would make great gifts for grandparents.

A great idea for the ids to have fun and also use them as gifts.

That’s a great idea. Thank you

My daughter and I used to make lots of things out of paper mache. Unfortunately we didn’t varnish them after painting and after a while they got mouldy and had to be thrown out.

I love papier mache. You can make so many things with it. I’ve made a few pinatas over the years. They’re always great fun at a kids party, even the big kids enjoy them

I never made a bowl, but my daughter made a cup once. They are quite strong!
