Create a Bowl Out of Aluminum Foil

Fashioning a bowl out of aluminum foil is a great way to quickly and easily create a vessel that can be used for a variety of purposes. Follow these steps to make your own bowl out of aluminum foil:

1. Begin by flattening a piece of aluminum foil so that it lies flat on a surface, and then tear it into a small square.
2. Gather the edges of the square together in the center and twist them, forming the bottom of the bowl.
3. Pinch the bottom edges together in one spot to keep the bottom of the bowl together.
4. Gently press with your thumbs to form the sides of the bowl. The bowl should take the shape of a shallow dish.
5. Bend the top edges up to form a lip to the bowl. This will help keep contents in the bowl.
6. Your bowl is complete! You can now use it for whatever purpose you had in mind.

How to Create a Bowl (Pipe) from Aluminum Foil

Aluminum foil is an excellent material when it comes to creating art. With it, you can create a pipe or bowl-like structure. These steps will show you how.

Getting Started

• Gather the materials you need: aluminum foil, gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges, and a rolling pin.
• Lay the aluminum foil on a sturdy surface such as a kitchen counter or cutting board.

Creating Your Bowl

• Roll the aluminum foil with the rolling pin to flatten it out. Don't overdo it as you don't want to tear the aluminum.
• Using your hands, fashion the aluminum into an approximately circular shape.
• Press the edges of your aluminum circle up along the edges. This will be the edge of your bowl.
• At the base, flatten out the aluminum until it looks like a bowl's bottom. This serves as the bowl's foundation.

Finishing Your Bowl

• Using your hands or the gloves, shape and clip the aluminum to refine the shape of the bowl.
• Make sure all of the edges are rounded, and that it looks like a bowl.
• Your bowl is now ready to use, or you could even decorate it.
