I’m not the first person to do a ticket bowl. The thing is, I’m intrigued by them and I had to try one out for myself. Then I added a special little touch with FolkArt Extreme Glitter. My ticket bowl reminds me of Xanadu with the stars and the glitter – at least the Mod Podge version. But without Olivia Newton John. If you are a beginner this DIY carnival bowl is a great project, so pay close attention to these simple instructions.
Gather These Supplies
Ticket roll
Hard Coat Mod Podge
FolkArt Extreme Glitter (I used Hologram)
Paintbrush
Felt – small square
Craft glue
Scissors
Ticket rolls are the new crafting trend, so I had to buy about a million off of ebay. They are so cheap!
Start pushing the ticket roll in one direction. This part is really fun.
Is it a bowl or a Devo hat? Or both.
Once you get your bowl to the shape you like it, coat it with several coats of Hard Coat Mod Podge. It will seep into the cracks and crevices between the tickets, so you don’t have to worry. I did two coats on the outside, then turned the bowl over and did two coats on the inside. Allow to dry.
I glued a small circle of felt (I just happened to have matching) onto the bottom to cover the hole. It was right after that I decided to coat the outside with Extreme Glitter. I only did one coat and look how glittery it is:
Allow your glitter to dry and you’re finished. Isn’t the finish amazing? I’m super happy with my ticket bowl and am now off to make a ton of them.

So I have this huge metal star and I was wondering what ideas you have to making it wow! It is currently painted hot pink, of course. I like to hang it in our entry way because of the high ceilings!
I’m open for any and all suggestions!
