I cleaned my old rose bowls with soap and water and then added gold or silver leaf. I glued hemp string along the top for more flare.
Approximate Time: 1 hour
Supplies:
- glass bowl
- low temp glue sticks and gun
- gold/silver leafing sheets
- hemp string
- spray glue
Instructions:
- Wash the old rose bowl and dry very well.
- Use a low temp glue gun to draw designs on the outside of the glass.
- Use spray glue over the whole outside when hot glue sets up, to get some of the wider spots sticky. Then the sheets will fill it in.
- Once the glue is cool, lay sheets of gold or silver gold leaf sheets. Press with your finger where you'd like the gold or silver.
- Remove gently and you'll have the glue covered with color.
- Add the string to the top and you are ready to go.

What is a "rose bowl"? In California it refers to a football game that happens in Southern California near the beginning of the year after a big parade. Please clarify what you mean and tell us where to get "rose bowls."

i assume a rose bowl is just a fancy name for fish bowl without the flared lip around it. but n either case you can pick up one from a dollar tree store.
