How it’s Made
Making a rope bowl is a fun project that involves stitching rope together to create a bowl shape. The process is similar to pottery, and the curvature of the sides depends on how you shape it. Here are some tips for making a rope bowl:
Supplies
You'll need rope, a sewing machine, and thread. You can also use fabric to wrap around the rope.
Stitching
Use a zigzag stitch. You can adjust the stitch width and length settings on your machine. A shorter, tighter zigzag stitch will sink into the fabric instead of sitting on top.
Shaping
As you stitch, strategically shift the rope to create the bowl shape. You can hold the base at a 45 degree angle to the machine to create a bowl shape instead of a round platter.
Adding fabric
You can wrap fabric around the rope before stitching. To do this, you can:
Glue a generous amount of glue to the last 2-3” of a fabric strip
Lay the end of the rope on top
Wrap the fabric around the rope, keeping it smooth and a little tight
Secure the fabric strip to the rope with glue
Repeat with the next strip, overlapping the first
