Create these delightful and useful bowls in different colors, prints and shapes. Perfect for gifts, or as as containers for a themed gift basket, or to hold fruit or pencils. These are decorative pieces of art, perfect for recycling those odd pieces of fabric into something pretty and different.
Instructions
1. Choose a glass bowl and turn it over, dome side up, onto a work table covered with a plastic table cover or newspapers. Cover the glass dome with plastic wrap all around so that it reaches the table. (This is to protect the bowl and will be peeled off later).
2. Lay a strip of fabric over the center of the dome so that it reaches from one rim of the bowl to the other. Don't worry about the ends at the moment. Holding the fabric down in the center against the dome with one hand, apply a coat of Mod Podge adhesive with the on the fabric strip with the other, covering it completely on both sides of the glass bowl. Continue laying and overlapping strips of fabric over and around the bowl, securing the strips with Mod Podge. Let dry.
3. Remove the fabric bowl off the glass dome. Peel off the plastic wrap and discard. With scissors, trim off the excess fabric pieces to make a neat edge.
4. Measure the bias tape to fit around the perimeter of the newly created fabric bowl and cut excess with scissors. Open the bias tape and generously apply Mod Podge with the foam brush. Fit the with the adhesive over the edge of the bowl and around so the two ends meet neatly.
5. Apply a coat of Mod Podge on the inside of the fabric bowl to seal and to strengthen it. Let it dry.
