If you have seen these on pinterest, you will have found that the instructions are fairly hard to find. We searched & searched for some step by step instructions to make the process of making a button bowl easy, we ended up making our own tutorial to make your project easier.

To make a button bowl you will need:

Buttons
A balloon
Glue (we use Selleys Aquadhere, as its non toxic & drys clear)
a Pin
small scissors

Step 1:
Blow up the balloon to your desired sized bowl
Paint a thick coat of the PVA glue directly onto the balloon, and let dry

Step 2:
start to stick your buttons on, place some large buttons onto the base, to form a solid base of the endbowl
Keep the buttons close together, using micro buttons to fill any gaps.
Use glue to cover the buttons, once you are happy with their position pour a thick layer of glue all over the bowl, particularly over the base, and anywhere the buttons are not actually touching.
Allow to dry (24 hours is good)

Step 3:
Using your pin pop the balloon, and gently pull the balloon away from the glued buttons
Use the scissors to cut away any excess or untidy glue.
