Every year, it happens that someone you didn’t expect to come to Christmas is coming. Which means you have to rush around to find something for them at a store that happens to be open. I did this one year and it was a big hit, that now I do it when I have to give other gifts. Most of the things you can find at a store like Wal-Mart that is open on Christmas.
Materials Needed:
- Standard roll of single tickets (as opposed to a double-ticket roll); you can buy a roll of 2,000 for under $5 at most large office supply stores
- Tape or glue
- Sealer (we used Mod Podge)
Instructions:
1. Secure the loose end of the ticket roll with tape or glue. Grasping the roll in both hands, gently push against the center with your thumbs and use your fingers to slightly separate the rows. Don’t push the bottom of the bowl too far, or you’ll end up with a cone shape that won’t stand up; rather, leave a flat base that’s at least 3 inches wide. Make sure the rim is more than one row thick, too, so it won’t bend or become dog-eared.
2. Finally, brush at least two coats of sealer over the entire bowl and let it dry thoroughly.
