| Comments: | The interior rims of these round bowls feature eight little hearts, so they are perfect as Valentines Day party favors. Fold one for each guest and fill them with sweets.
I found the shaping of the little hearts to be the most challenging aspect of making this model. I need more practice to get them just right.
Double-sided paper is a must for this model because the reverse side of the paper is revealed in the hearts and the star-shape at the center of the bowl's interior.
It is possible to adjust the size of these bowls by loosening the little sink folds which transform this model from a two-dimensional structure to a three-dimensional structure.
After folding a bowl according to the designer's diagrams/instructions, if you then loosen all the sink folds around the rim, your bowl will become larger in diameter but shallower in depth.
If you decide to adjust your bowl, be very careful to loosen all of the sink folds by the same amount, in order to maintain a nice round shape. Be conservative when adjusting -- if you loosen the sink folds too much, the whole bowl may collapse/flatten.
The two bowls shown here were both made from the same size sheet of paper, but the one on the left has been adjusted. I like the shallower bowl because it allows you to see the interior heart shapes better, but the unadjusted bowl is sturdier. |
