Well, Well, Well, It's that time of year again
Turkeys, Thanksgiving
..Gourds..
AngelinaMai has been suggesting this pin in the comments of every single video for months
It's The Autumn Leaf Bowl.
Where you take some leaves, a balloon, and some glue
and make this really cool looking bowl
Now I thought you needed real leaves, but upon clicking into the pin I found
out that you can just use fake leaves
Which, totally suits me because I live the *BLEEP* hole that is Los Angeles
and experience no seasonal change whatsoever
So, I already had some lying around the house and decided to use some of those
I removed all the plastic stems and the veins and everything attached to it
And had myself a pile of Autumn leaves
Sweet
I blew up a balloon, busted out some Mod Podge and began to coat my balloon as instructed
Now, to attach my first leaf.
Alright.
Here we go
Just slop some glue on there
The more glue the better
Um..hah. Um..This..isn't working that well
Nope, lemme rephrase that
Um, this isn't working at all
Um, alright so they're just not sticking and just kinda falling..all over the place
So..*Bleep* em
Here you go.
Boom
*Bleep* You.
Done.
Alright, so it has come to my attention that apparently this just is impossible.
These people did it
This guy? Not so much.
But I saw another pin where you can actually use real leaves
Which is what I initially thought this project was all about
This brings me back to my first dilemma
I live in Los Angeles
Which means I have to fly to the East Coast
Alright, so I found the perfect tree, it's got a lot of Autumn Leaves
And yellow coloured stuff, a lot like the pin
So I stuck these leaves into a ZipLock, jumped back onto the plane, and when I returned
Realized that decomposition is a Bitch
These beautiful, yellow and red leaves that I had turned to *bleep* brown
And moldy.
But *BLEEP* It, I have absolutely no other options at this point
Moving forward
Blew up a balloon
Coated it with Mod Podge
And slapped on my first leaf
Success!
I added another one, and another one, the next half hour or so of um kinda putting these leaves on
was, ya know, real *bleeping* boring
Lotsa leaves, lotsa glue
Now, the more layers, the better
So tomorrow we're gonna add another one to strengthen the bowl even more
The next morning I woke up and things were looking pretty solid
Um, however, like an asshole, I left out the leaves
So they all dried up
And, um, crumbled into nothingness
Well, where the *bleep* am I gonna get leaves?
Alright, so now I'm just driving the streets of Los Angeles looking for Fall
As you can see, there's *bleeping* nothing around here
Alright, here it is, the one tree in Los Angeles
That's turning colours
There it is.
Alright
I got back with all the leaves I could find
I added another layer of leaves, and again let that dry overnight
Alright, here you go. Oh yeah, this one
This one is just an obviously fail
*Bleep* Those people and however the figured it out
Now the one with the actual leaves, this one looks pretty decent
So I'm excited about this
I grabbed a sharp object
Popped the balloon and..
(Sounds of hopes and dreams being crushed)
What..The..*Bleep*..Just..Happened
Heh. Well, there you have it
Kinda looks like an old deflated basketball
It's super flimsy, ah, it's kinda hideous looking
No..
No, it's actually, it's really quite atrocious
I..I dunno, I guess just throw some fruit in it and you're good to go
Oh yeah, that looks *Bleeping* Great
Oh, wait wait wait wait, Duh! My bad
Missed the last step
You're supposed to get yourself some lighter fluid
And some matches
And set it on Fire.
Yep. That's about right
Tis the *bleeping* Season
