Pretty Paper Bowls




Yesterday I was looking for ideas for gifting brownies. Wilton has a kit that comes with window boxes, tissue, and sticker 6/$2.99. I'll wait until Hobby Lobby has their 40% off coupon and buy some.
Another idea I found from Martha Stewart. I subscribe to "craft of the day" and in today's mail there was an idea for making pretty paper bowls. I thought now this would be an inexpensive alternative and you could use the colors of your choice!
Martha used white paper plates and bright colored rubber bands. You could make these from the white or your theme color. Add several square sheets of tissue paper or a doily. Lay your brownie in the bowl and wrap with cellophane or plastic wrap and tie a bow from colored twine, ribbon, or string and tie on or sticker label. In place of the colored rubber bands you could use plain rubber band or just use a glue stick to put the bowl together and tie a ribbon around the bowl or leave plain since you're going to wrap it in cellophane or plastic wrap.
