Ticket Bowls

Materials:

roll of "fair/carnival" tickets
découpage glue, such as Mod Podge
foam paintbrushes
rubber bands
small piece of felt
Fabri-Tac glue

1. Unroll the top five layers of tickets. Apply découpage medium to the backs of these tickets and reroll back together (figure A). Keep the roll tight; these tickets will form the brim of the bowl. Use rubber bands to secure, if needed, while the glue dries.

2. Use your fingers to press the roll into a bowl form, pushing in the center and gently pulling on the sides to form a bowl shape (figure B).

3. Apply découpage medium to the outside and inside of the ticket bowl (figure C).

4. Let dry; repeat with two more coats of découpage medium.

5. Cut a piece of cardstock the size of the bottom of the bowl. Glue to the bowl bottom with découpage medium. Cut a piece of felt the same size and attach with Fabri-Tac glue (figure D).
