gold glue basket bowlI am so in love with making these little basket bowls. They're so easy to make and barely cost a thing. They're so pretty, you'd never know at first glance they were made of hot glue!

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 1 basket bowl

Supplies:

Steps:

  1. Start by smearing petroleum jelly or oil to the exterior of your bowl. This bowl will be the guide for your hot glue bowl. The grease will allow you to peel it off nicely when you're done.

  3. Draw on a big dot of hot glue in the center of the base of your bowl.

  5. I decided to go for a "bloom" looking pattern, so I started to add pedals going around the bowl.

  11. Hot glue dries quickly. Gently press your nail between the hot glue and the bowl to lift off your new basket.

  13. Your basket bowl will start coming off very easily. You can peel it off then re-invert it.

  21. You can fill it up with goodies or use it as a decorative piece. I love the shadows they cast!

This is so fantastic! I'm going to make one. I bet different shape containers would work too.
Thank you for the great idea :-)

Did you also know you can get glitter glue sticks? Wouldn't that be cool for the holidays?? Here's a link to look for yourselves. I love this by the way. This is also a place to look for ideas on other glue projects.

Just wondering, doesn't the petroleum jelly interfere with painting? Do you wash it off first?

How did you remove the vaseline from the glue so it could be painted?

Do you use low temp or high temp glue? And does glue get hard so the bowl will hold it's shape?
