Working in sections at a time, brush on an even layer of glue to bowl. Tap brush onto white piece of tissue then press onto glue, brushing over to secure. Tap onto another piece then place slightly overlapping first. Repeat steps until entire bowl is covered with one layer of tissue adding more glue to bowl and brush as needed. Set aside to dry. Clean brush thoroughly. When dry add another layer. Let dry.
