That’s right, how to make a bowl from a barrel of monkeys. If you have some extra monkeys hanging around, you too could have this very bowl. I didn’t know I wanted a monkey bowl until I saw this picture and now I don’t know how I have made it this long without one. What am I going to do with mine? Keep bananas in it of course!

Ginger over at Deep Fried Kudzu, has great step by step directions and pictures for making your very own bowl o’monkeys. We realize that Ginger buys new monkeys in her tutorial and we would not recommend you buy them new just for this project. We think it is a good idea for using used monkeys. Monkeys not your thing? She also has directions for making a bowl made from little plastic soldiers.What a great idea! Since we have three generations of toy soldiers living at our house, I might need to make one of these too. Perfect for a little boy’s room or birthday party.

Happy Upcycling,
