Paper Mache Bowl Part One

Things you will need: A bowl for the form, White Glue, Container to hold water/glue mixture, Pastic Wrap, Paper products to tear, edge trimmings, water, and a protective table covering
Mix equal parts  water and glue and put in container for dipping torn pieces of paper in
Dip torn paper into glue/water mixture and remove excess glue before placing on plastic film covered bowl - form
Place torn paper so the side you want VISIBLE is facing the INSIDE of the bowl
The Pattern Side goes towards the inside of the bowl - make 2 LAYERS of the paper and make sure you cover the whole bowl form twice - pay special attention the the rim of the bowl and the bottom to make sure the paper mache will be strongest in both these areas  - go to part two -
