This is an unusual alternative to papier mâché and is suited to older children who have more nimble fingers. The delicate bowl would make a lovely present for Mother's Day. This example uses just one colour of wool but you could try different colours for different looks or co-ordinate with other accessories in a room.

Time: 20 minutes plus overnight drying
Age: Over 10's

Great idea - especially for using up all your left over bits of wool - which I just happen to have plenty of !! Thanks from CAS
Lucy - I have made something similar but used Fabric Stiffener which you can buy from craft shops maybe a fabric shop as well. I put the wool and stiffener into a plastic bag to mix and I also wrapt the bowl in glad wrap instead of the oil only because I didn't know about the oil. Maree
Lucy - I was surprised not to be able to buy wallpaper paste in the DIY aisle in my local supermarket in Australia. I guess somewhere like Bunnings might stock it. I wonder if white PVA glue would also work?

We're definitely trying this one - just need to source some wallpaper paste.

This would look great as an Easter basket with mini eggs and chicks inside
