Way back in August, I started to see rope bowls popping up in my Instagram feed. They looked so fun to make and I really wanted to give them a try.
Well, sewing for craft shows and then sewing for Christmas kind of took priority for a while.
Finally, last weekend, I decided to give this whole rope bowl thing a try. Oh my - are they ever addicting! So much fun, they use up the itty bitty string scraps of fabric, the possibilities are endless as to size and how they look.
I'm definitely not done making them and as I want a few more for myself, they make fantastically fun gifts and I'll be stocking some in my Etsy shop and for an upcoming craft show in April.
Oh and before you ask, I used this great
tutorial by Tia Curtis to get me started.
What cute little bowls! I've seen them popping up. I might have to give it a try someday!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! Definitly should give it a try - so fun!
DeleteI'm seeing these all over Instagram as well. Yours are super cute! I really like the leather tabs you've used to finish them off.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
DeleteI have rope and mountains of fabric at home, plan to make some soon. Yours are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of needle and thread do you use to add leather?
Thank you! I use a standard needle and dual duty Coats & Clark thread - I just take it slow and it goes through the leather and rope just fine.
DeleteGreat bowls, yours look so pretty! Like how you finished them.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
