Halloween Cauldron
Perfect for collecting or giving out candy on
Halloween, this cauldron also works very well as a table centre on your
Halloween party table, filled with goodies!
You will need:
2 balloons
Old newspaper
White glue (PVA)
Black paint
Black chenille stem (pipe cleaner)
Blow a balloon up about half way so it forms a small ball. Rip the newspaper
into small pieces, then dip them in the glue and stick to the balloon. When
the balloon is covered let dry and then add another layer of paper and glue
(paper mache).
When the paper is dry, burst the balloon and throw it
away. Trim the hole in the pot to a neat circle. Blow the second balloon up
to about the same size, and sit it on top of the pot. Rip strips of paper
and dip them in glue. Use the strips to join the balloon to the pot. Make
the strips come about halfway up the balloon and ensure the join is well
covered. When it is dry, pop the balloon.
Trim the paper so it forms a lip
around the top of the pot. Paint with black paint. Make two small holes in
the top and thread either end of a chenille stem through to form the handle,
twisting to secure.
