I have seen a bowl made with rolled up paper tubes then I think varnished or painted? Anyone know how to do this?

In school, we used to make baskets by folding long strips of paper, then using the strips to weave. You can attach a handle, too. We then painted them and gave them a coat of PVA glue which dried clear like varnish. They made nice Mother's Day gifts with sweets or etc in them.
