Paper bowl from Patricia Zapata's design

I had so much fun making this paper bowl from Patricia Zapata's Home, Paper, Scissors.  I saw it in BHG's Do It Yourself magazine, which has so many fun ideas and colors, but had this simple project to make a paper bowl.  See a Patricia's blog:

You just need sturdy paper and some Elmer's glue, and mold it over a bowl with a good shape.  See the end result:

I could only find bright green cardstock, which was definitely not the color I wanted, so I made it of the green and then spray-painted it with gold and a very light spritz coat of black.  I was inspired by the fun metal bowls at Crate and Barrel, etc.
