Recently I tried my hand at paper making.  It is super easy.  I made beads, paper tags and even this bowl.  It being summer and all I decided to paint my bowl to look like a watermelon.  With a face of course.  Check out my tutorial on BlogHer for how to make paper.

This one is actually a basket, an Easter basket to be exact – HOWEVER take off the handle and it is a bowl.  All you need is a few supplies like balloons and shredded paper.  Sounds fun right?  It is.  Check out the Recycled Easter Basket tutorial here.
