How to make a button bowl without a balloon!
Easy to make small button bowl that will decorate the corner where you place it..but the thing is..its not made with balloon..but I recycled a plastic bottle...to make this small button bowl.. .here is the step by step method with pictures..there are many art and craft ideas for kids using recycled materials..but this one is so interesting and easy..
Recycling waste materials is always a fun..you can make useful and decorative things in a cheapest way..and certainly can reduce waste from the earth..it is our very first duty to reduce the waste..and create useful thing out of it..many people make button bowls using a balloon..but today I am going to show you how to make a button bowl without a balloon..
See how colorful it looks..it is up to you whether you place it on a table..a corner table..on a reading desk, desktop..TV table, in a window, or decorate in a drawing room..wherever you place it..it adds colors to that corner..even you can wrap it in a gift box and give it to your friends as a gift..they will not believe that it is a recycled bottle..! Even you can make many and sell them at a suitable price for profit..
Things you need:
- 1 empty plastic bottle
- Colorful buttons
- Cutter, scissor
- Super glue
Method:
Take an empty cola bottle and wash it from inside..let it dry..then cut its head..do not take pity just cut away!😊😉.. Then cut its back side also as you see in the image..we just need the middle part which shapes like a bowl..
This step is optional ..do it or not do it..here I have made curved shapes like flower petals to make it more attractive..but you can simply cut a plane round edge..
Using the super glue, start sticking the buttons of different colors from its bottom to the top..here I am using small sized buttons..because we are making a small bowl..they are about 60-70 buttons..
Keep sticking.. .
Until you've covered the whole bowl..
Done!..our small button bowl is ready to decorate any part of the house..
Change the theme of colors..use only one color ..or the combination of two or three colors..will make them more attractive..if you want to make larger bowls then use a big water cane and cut it in a same way..but use big buttons..
If you like the idea of recycling..then share it with your friends..and tell them how to create a mini button bowl..even without a balloon.. They will also like it.
