+MATERIALS: balloons, Mod Podge, foam brush, confetti, scissors, push pin

+WHY DID YOU ADD SO MANY LAYERS?
At 2 layers, I could still see parts of the balloon showing through so I wanted to add at least 3 so that the bowl would be solid. That said, after the third layer, more confetti = more unevenness on the outside of the bowl.

+HOW LONG DID YOU LET THEM DRY?
In total, I allowed both bowls to dry for about 12 hours. Just wanted to make sure they were 100% dry.

+WHY DIDN'T YOU ADD A FINAL LAYER OF MOD PODGE TO SMOOTH EVERYTHING DOWN?
I attempted this on a small portion of one of the bowls, but unfortunately, the mod podge does not get the confetti to lay flat. Instead of smoothing it out, it added to the chunky, uneven texture on the outside.

+FINAL VERDICT:
This was half truth/half fail (in my opinion). It does create a bowl, but the outside of the bowl is kind of uneven/sad looking. I'd be really curious to try this with a different type of material to see how it works (fabric, maybe?). If you've tried this project out with better results, let me know how you did it in the comments below!
