Think of other crazy and creative
ways to decorate these bowls.

Fishbowl Flowerpot

• 8-inch-high round fishbowl
• Crepe paper streamers in orange, yellow, and black
• Pinking shears
• Glossy decoupage medium
• Paintbrush
• Black glass paint
• Pencil with round eraser
• Three black chenille stems
• Pony beads in black, yellow, and orange

1. Wash and dry the fishbowl. Cut the streamers into squares and strips using pinking shears. Cut one-third of each roll to start.

2. Working on small sections at a time, paint decoupage medium on the inside of the fishbowl. Press crepe paper pieces onto decoupage medium and smooth out with a paintbrush. Change colors and overlap pieces as desired. When the entire inside of the fishbowl is covered with crepe paper pieces, apply a coat of decoupage medium over the entire inside surface. Let dry.

3. To add black polka dots to the outside of the fishbowl, dip the eraser of a pencil into paint and dot onto the surface. Let dry.

4. Twist the ends of the chenille stems together to form a longer piece. Thread a black pony bead on one end and twist the chenille stem to secure it. Continue adding pony beads, alternating the orange and yellow with black. Secure a black bead on the end. Wrap the beaded piece around the top of the fishbowl and twist to secure.

5. Set a potted plant in the fishbowl planter.
