Fabric Covered Bowls

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

• Wooden Bowl
• Kraft paper
• Pencil
• Tape
• Scissors
• Fabric
• Straight Pins
• Mod Podge
• Application Brush
• Embroidery Scissors, optional

DIRECTIONS:

1. Use bowl to trace a pattern onto the paper. You can do this by holding it on its side against the paper and tracing its edges as you roll it across the paper. Or, it may be easier to take medium-sized sections of paper and wrap them around the curved outside of the bowl, marking the bowl lip and bottom with a pencil, and continuing the process until you have wrapped and marked the paper all the way around the bowl. Remove paper, flatten, and trim the excess paper from the above the lip line and below the bottom line. This is the bowl pattern.


2. Place bowl pattern atop fabric, pin, and cut fabric.


3. Use brush to apply Mod Podge to a medium-sized section of the outside of the bowl; line up fabric, stretch to lip and bottom and press with fingers. Continue around the entire bowl. When you reach the end, fold edge and press.


4. Trim any fabric at the lip as needed, embroidery scissors are helpful.


5. Seal with a top coat of Mod Podge.
