When it comes to cardboard...
you can call me
A
"cardboard-aholic"
I won't take it offensively at all!
** Cardboard Creature Bowl **
This project was inspired by
Mark Montano
The project was too cute and creative to pass up!
Reading about this in his latest book
BIG ASS BOOK OF CRAFTS- 2

Using cardboard... was all I needed to get started!
WHAT FUN!!!
I had, creating this paper-mache bowl.
First
Download the templet (Cardboard Creature Bowl)
I used one of these boxes (I had laying around)
Cut, tape, and glue together.
Second
Cut out pieces of a phone book (white pages)
Glue to cardboard shaped bowl
(set aside to dry)

Search for sea creature image.

Honestly...
When I first saw this image, I wasn't to sure about it.
I am not really a big fan of the Octopus.
Once I started to glue the image to the paper-mache bowl...
It began to make sense to me, why this image was used for the project.
The octopuses tentacles found there place!
I decided then... Mr. Octopus wasn't all that bad after all.
In the end... I got my fix.
I got to create something with cardboard, and I am very happy!
Happy Thursday to you!

Love ALL your posts!!! As you may know, I'm a HUGE fan of yours!!! I'll have to try the bowl and octopus!!! I still have the tea cup that I made from another one of your posts. I made it in the colors of what I thought Alice in Wonderland would have.
