I repaired card punch machines, so computer cards were always available. Fold up a little open box, and you've got a place to put the screws and clips and things you removed as you worked on the machine. I still make similar little paper containers whenever I need a quick and temporary storage container. The paper bowl reminded me of that.

You could also make suncatchers in something flat (e.g. cake pans). I wonder how well they join up -- could you support the weight to hang it in a window? I don't have oodles of plastic beads stashed, but maybe I will have to get some... I'm envisioning "stained glass" in my windows now. Gorgeous!

It is a bowl made with plastic army men and there is a tutorial on how to make it as well. <a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=4707.msg40361#msg40361" rel="nofollow">Army Men Bowl</a> This reminded me of another melted bowl I’d seen on craftster.

I've been keeping my eyes out for cheap plastic beads, but so far I've only found expensive plastic beads, but I'm determined. I will make a melted bead bowl! I love the melted bead bowl.
