Rustic Rope Bowl – DIY

This project idea was triggered by the pine cones that my dear friend send to me couple of weeks ago. They are sitting in a box smelling beautify right now waiting for me to use them. It may be a while so I decided to find a way to display them in my home before they became part of my projects so Let’s make a Rope Bowl! Perfect little rustic accent in any home decor. I have done few projects with Mod Podge and have to admit that this one is one of my favorite ones. My desire was to use a rope. Don’t you just love nice rope crafts? RUSTIC BOWL DIY

ITEMS NEEDED TO MAKE A Bowl

• Rope/Jute (thicker is the best)
• Saran wrap– plastic wrap
• Mod-Podge
• Bowl of your choice as a template

---

---

If you are not a big fan of rustic style you can switch that brown rope for a white macrame one and make your bowl diy even more special.

---

---

Let’s begin

First you need to find a bowl that you like to use as a template. My mixing bowl seemed to be perfect size for my needs.

Steps to make a bowl

• Wrap your bowl tightly with saran wrap as it shows on the pictures below.

---

• 

• 

---

• Apply a good amount of a Mod- Podge all over your layer of Saran-Wrap. Make sure to protect your surface …it may be bit messy but I guarantee you it is soo worthy.

---

---

• Start to layer your rope around bowl starting at the top as it is shown in the picture below. To my surprise all was nicely sticking together.

---

---

• Make sure rope is layered evenly all around without leaving any gaps for a nice uniformed look. I promise it is not difficult at all

---

---

The whole wrapping didn’t really take a long time and look how awesome my rope craft look already.

---

---

• Apply a thick coat of Mod-Podge to a layered rope. Make sure to cover all. Leave to dry for few hours. I am going to leave mine overnight just to make sure all is dry.

---

---

• It is all dry now I hope. Carefully separate bowl from your template and remove inner coating of saran wrap

---

Its time !

---

I couldn’t believe how beautiful it already looks.. and how sturdy it is. So very pleased with what I see so far. Perfect rope craft

---

---

It looks awesome! All layers are nicely attached! Love it my rope bowl diy ! I don’t know if you can see on the picture but there is a small shimmer on the rope. I actually don’t mind it gives a nice touch. If you are not a fan of that you can nicely remove it with dry cloth. Perfect rustic home decor idea

---

---

Can’t wait to finally style with my new bowl. For now my pinecones will have a beautiful spot to hang out.

---

---

Really love the way my little project turned out! I am for sure going to make more of them! Just noticed my daughter hair ties scattered all over her table! I think she will finally love to have them organize in one of those bowls too. I may choose for her a fun color.
