Fabric Rope Bowl // TUTORIAL

Hi everyone! I’ve been meaning to make a bowl for Jax for quite some time now as he is a lover of all bowls and boxes! I thought this fabric and rope bowl would be the perfect fit for him and boy was I right!

He is constantly laying in his bowl and even hung out with me while I made it LOL! It took me a day to make the bowl, and that included filming time so you could definitely whip one out fairly quickly once you get going.

Supplies for this project are simple:

• 3/8″ Cotton Filler Cord (I used about 12 yards)
• 1 Moda Honey Bun or about 18-20 1.5″ x WOF strips
• Jeans/Denim Needle
• Wonder Clips
• Straight Pins (Mine are the Just Pins from Fat Quarter Shop aren’t they cute!)
• Fabric Scissors
• Magnetic Pin Bowl
• Juki G210 Machine 

Ready to get started on this super easy project?

I used wonder clips to help hold my fabric strips. Once I got the base going, I just continued adding more fabric strips. I think I added about 5 or so at a time to make it go a little faster.

 

You can make these bowls any size you like! Mine was about 8” on the base and then I started up the sides. It was a perfect fit!

 

The higher you angle your base, the steeper your sides will be. You can make the sides as steep or gradual of a slope as you like.

 

You’ll see the sides taking form after a couple of rows!

 

And it’s as easy as that! This is such a fun project!

 

As you can see this project is super easy and perfect for storing all kinds of goodies from to craft supplies and kitties!
