SUPPLIES & TOOLS:
DIRECTIONS:
JOANN HACKS:
- Purchased Nesting Bowl(s)
- 1/4 yd Fabric in kit will fit a 5" bowl. (A 2 yd. precut will make several bowls of varying sizes)
- 1/4" Elastic (Circumference of Bowl minus 5")
- Fabric Marker, Chalk Marker or Pencil
- Fray Check
- Matching Thread
- Basic Sewing Supplies
DIRECTIONS:
- Measure diameter of your bowl and add 4" (Example: 10" bowl + 4" = 14" circle. Sample fabric is 9" wide and will make a cover to fit a 5" bowl)
- Cut out a circle from fabric.
- Cover cut edge of circle with Fray Check, allow to dry thoroughly.
- On the RS of fabric circle, use a marker or pencil to draw around circle 1/2" from edge.
- Press under along drawn marks, pressing pleats flat.
- Stitch all around circle 3/8" from edge, leaving an opening for elastic.
- Cut 1/4" elastic 5" less than circumference of bowl (Example: 10" bowl x 3 = 30" - 5 = 25" piece of elastic)
- Insert elastic, stitch ends together and stitch opening closed.
JOANN HACKS:
- A cut circle will not fray too much using Fray Check around the edge with ensure a smooth line. You could also use pinking shears to cut out the circle.

Free Bowl cover kit!
It was a kit I got in the store. The instructions I got were confusing. But the fabric was cute.

Fun
THANKS FIRE THE PROJECT. I had fun doing a quick project from start to finish under an hour. Learned how NOT to do elastic. LOL.
Will definitely be making more. Quick presents.
The one I had enough fabric to make 2 for a 9 inch bowl.

Quick and easy
Loved the project. One small error in the directions—#7 cut the elastic 5” less than 3 TIMES the circumference of the bowl. I had plenty of fabric to do an 11” diameter bowl.

Great idea! And for FREE!
Materials in the kit are great for a 5" bowl, no bigger than that. But the whole spool of thread will last for a long time over many other projects. The fabric was very pretty! Wish I could have made a bigger bowl cover.
