From Fabric Scraps to Beautiful Bowl: Step-by-Step DIY!

[@joydavis3089]

Im going to try 3 layers. 1st for pretty interior, 2 nd muslin or ugly fabric for strength, 3 rd for basket exterior. Thanks for your video.

[@joylynnburkhardt3202]

Barbara maybe if you use a balloon as your base. You don’t have to cover it with plastic wrap.

[@craftybeachgirldani]

I am now going to my fabric drawer to find scraps! Love Love Love this bowl!

[@49dragonflies]

Have fun! ❤️

[@shawnmorymcmillion]

I’m so excited for Dephemerember 2024! Getting lots of great ideas!

[@kathycox5230]

Barbara, you are lovely. Thank you for sharing your oops, blunders, and recoveries with us.

[@vamps_rock]

This is gorgeous! And I love Ephy. TFS 🥰

[@mariaconti9704]

Absolutely wonderful! So many possibilities! Thanks again dear Barbara,❤️🤗🤩🥰😍

[@angelaarnold4255]

For Christmas 2 years ago, I made the rope bowls for everyone. Even my son in laws. My best friend loved it. When she showed her husband, he told her she couldn’t use it. It was too beautiful. They needed to hang it on a wall. Lol. They were really fun to make. But by the time I was done, I was DONE. The Scraps bowl looks like a lot of fun too. I might have to try one. ♥️♥️♥️

[@49dragonflies]

That is awesome! 😃❤️

[@rosarieramon1081]

Barbara, Barbara, Barbara...love...love...love...your Dephemerember Basket. Adorable with your Ephy charm🥰

[@jolajolcia2342]

Great little accessory for upcoming Dephemereber. Really nice❤

[@janicestevens8469]

Barbara, I love your uncut videos, mistakes and all! It makes me feel better to know I’m not the only one who needs to rethink my projects. 😊 Your basket turned out so amazing. You’re a true artisan! ❤

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much! ❤️😃

[@shawnmorymcmillion]

I’m going to make myself one for Dephemerember 2024! I’m loving this basket!

[@49dragonflies]

Im sure it will come in handy, have fun! 😃❤️

[@emmkaa2099]

Your basket is PERFECT and Ephy is SO precious! Love you, baby girl, hugs, MomK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗

[@geridevries839]

What a beautiful bowl! I'm happy Ephy was able to reside in the bowl after all. TFS! Hugs from South Dakota, USA 🤗

[@vickilimbocker2505]

So cute Barbara. You are the best instructor thank you so much. I was thinking that maybe putting down a couple of layers of canvas before your decorative fabrics would strengthen your project.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! Yes, that might have helped…

[@rhondamarshall7039]

Love this bowl, marvelous job.

[@mapr0876]

So cute. I'll have to make it one! TFS ❤

[@karoladebuhr7414]

Liebe Barbara ❤ so super süß, dein Korb 😍. Vielen Dank für's zeigen 😊 Freunde mich schon auf Dephemerember 2023🥰😘 Ganz liebe Grüße Karola

[@maritaranda7782]

So cute🤩love it❤️

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

Oh it’s just adorable! It turned out perfect and will be so fun to see as you are crafting in December! Hugs 🤗❤️

[@carolm4094]

Fabulous bowl. Can’t wait for Dephemerember to start. It’s going to be so much fun.

[@prof.mommyarty]

Oh it's so cute, I've made fabric into rope and done bowls, baskets and wreaths before but not this yet. Saw a comment below suggesting a balloon which sounds good, you can pop the balloon afterwards! He's so adorable😍. I don't have time to watch everyone😫. Yes, the paper makes a huge difference! Yes a balloon would work, we've used tissue paper like this a lot then pop it lol. Also your image and inside would be smooth. Yeah I have a craft turntable, very handy. Yes great gift idea 💡. Yes I'm a fan of stamping and stencilling on fabric. Oh no 🙈 poor little guy! Maybe more layers or a layer of wadding in between would stiffen it. The eyelets look so CUTE 😍. Yes the cropodile is a worthwhile investment! I need ball chain closures, keep forgetting them 🙈. I LOVE it Barbara, I'm definitely going to have to make one at some point, don't let me forget lol. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

[@betinakroner7777]

I love this!!! I’m definitely doing this. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@lynnenewell6812]

I would use layers of newspaper between the fabric pieces to stiffen the bowl and a glass bowl works well too. Love your full videos. Thanks

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for the tip! 😃❤️

[@sharonromer6606]

A disposable plastic shower cap would work well also. Barbara thank you for sharing.❣🤗🇺🇸

[@doreethorpe4800]

Your bowl turned out great Barbara! I love the way you overcame the unexpected little oops! ♥

[@tharp2499]

Such a cute bowl/basket, Barbara!💙 I always forget these types of projects. I have soooo much cotton fabric(& old jeans), & jars of Mod Podge I'll probably never use before they dry out. This would be a fantastic project to do with my teen grandkids! AND it would help "de-stash" some clutter.😉 Thanks for the inspiration!💙💛💙

[@49dragonflies]

So happy you feel inspired! Have fun! ❤️

[@nancysale188]

I love this! I'm going to try it!!! Thank you! Blessings.....

[@bobbiwest6625]

Beautiful basket you made. Take care, be safe.

[@junepatterson7928]

So cute! I really like the flexibility of the bowl. Fabric glue is made to dry flexible so it is comfortable next to your skin Put the basket it perfect.

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

This basket is adorable!

[@Weasel0539]

I love the bowl. Will look great in your craft room any time of year

[@RoseD2016]

I love your fabric bowl also! This is going to be a really fun dephemerember 2023! 🧡🤗❤️

[@mbutler599]

Love it! Great idea. Thanks! The build-up to Dephemerember is so exciting! Thank you ❤️🇨🇦

[@caroltanzi29]

Barbara: I made a bowl out of paper years ago for a sample to show children. My bowl was round which was a lot easier to do. It was so much fun and the children loved it. Also, after painting it inside and out (two different colors), I took a black magic marker and drew a simple design on the inside top edge of the bowl. The whole project was so easy and fun to create. Using fabric is something I will try now. I really like the idea. Carol from California

[@anniec4531]

great idea, had to make one.... sewed leather scraps together...very happy with it, Thank-you Ladies

[@49dragonflies]

Wonderful! 😃❤️

[@lisas7025]

You are right ....now I want to create one too. I love how yours turned out and watched what Luise did also and loved hers as well.

[@coastalcraftystudio4448]

Beautiful work. I really didn’t have time to watch your series over the holiday, but have time now to get started with the project!❤

[@paulette44martin]

What a very special project, love the colors..

[@ddmattin]

Love this! The handles are wonderful. I may give this messy project a go.

[@margaretcomella3318]

Fun!!!❤

[@Veronim78]

Love this adorable, beautiful basket. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@4GraceCreations]

Watched both of your videos and am now making mine! So much messy fun!

[@49dragonflies]

Have fun! 😃❤️

[@sarojm893]

How very cute is this Barbara, thank you for sharing this lovely idea. The fabric choices are beautiful and they all compliment each other so well. Both yours and Luise’s bowls are so unique. Looking forward to 20th November for the prompt list, as I would like to join in this year. Take care and stay blessed.❤

[@heathersullivan8494]

❤ So so super cute. What a wonderful idea!! It’s so creative. Love it! 😊

[@robinsutton4952]

In Luise’s video I commented I needed to go to Joanne’s. I have friends that quilt, surely they have scraps I could use. Love how both your bowls turned out. It is getting exciting for Dephemerember to start. Thanks for sharing.

[@glendajohanson9846]

Your bowl turned out so cute!!

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

i love this bowl and i cannot wait to see what Luise creates - thank you Barbara - December 1st cannot come quick enough lol

[@kcueva313]

Oh gosh so adorable 👍🏻

[@beautybug1831]

Thank you for another inspiring and A-M-A-Z-I-N-G idea!!! I love it so much!!!

[@Charlathejournalingjunky]

They are Wicked ❤ we did theses as kids with balloons and paper pieces to make masks so I’m sure they would also work if u just go half way up the balloon then u can just pop it, or use sellotape, or carrier bags but I love ur bowl it’s amazing ❤xx

[@myhappyspace4533]

You were totally right. I am desperate to try it out. Absolutely lovely

[@lorrainedurgee1761]

This looks like soo much fun - when I get a change to make one - thanks a lot - adorable ..

[@sherrydennis2419]

Such a cute idea!

[@priscillamontoya]

Poor Effy, patience is a virtue Barbara. 😂

[@MaureenAstrid]

❤❤❤ the bowl is so gorgeous sweetie! And Ephy is just so cute and adorable 😍 a great idea!

[@luiseheinzl]

awwwww ❤ your bowl turned out absolutely adorable! this was so funny to watch, we had so many same issues and thoughts. well… doesn’t really surprise me though

[@thecraftingauntie9820]

Barbara!!! Amazing!!!!😮❤

[@lucyfanning7496]

Love this.

[@bluemuf]

I love the fabric basket. Definitely want to make one💕🇨🇦

[@49dragonflies]

Have fun! 😃❤️

[@victoriaguckian8578]

Sounds awesome to use a balloon.

[@sandracreatesstudio]

love this idea

[@ManuelaFantasieArt]

So süss🥰

[@cynthiayork5868]

Fun project

[@rebeccajanemae]

You could add some additional fabric around the rim so you can fold it over on the outside of the bowl on order to give it some sturdiness.

[@utpre89]

Wie herzig❤, total süß und ne tolle Idee - werde ich im November auch basteln. Ich glaub ich versuch nach der ersten Stofflage das Ganze mit starkem Packpaier oder mit Leinwand zu verstärken, damit der Rand nicht allzu wabbelig wird. Und nun schau ich mir Luises Körbchen an, bin auch schon gespannt, was sie sich wieder Besonderes ausgedacht hat.

[@sandikalin636]

Oh my goodness Barbara., I Love everything about this basket. You and Luise are both so talented. So excited for this series., ❤❤❤

[@heidemariehanusa7200]

Hallo Babara, eine tolle Idee! Die Kombination aus Ballonlaternen herstellen und Brotkorb nähen. 👍Ich glaub ich mach's nach! Einen schönen Wochenstart. Heidi

[@49dragonflies]

Viel Spaß damit! 😃❤️

[@margaretcrawford292]

I've done this as well. I found with smallish plastic containers like peanut butter, marshmallow fluff. I used the large zip lock plastic bags. I'd put bag on outside and stuff the top into the jar. They stayed better and I could reuse the plastic bag. Yhey also came off easily enough. I was worried because the plastic jar wasn't as flexible. But it worked!! Love your Videos!!❤

[@49dragonflies]

That's a great idea! 😃❤️

[@Kel5iesKrafts]

At my first care job I looked after a lady called Effie. Beautiful project. I love it 💜

[@annietwemlow9967]

These would make lovely gifts, and my granddaughter and I will have a great crafting session making some.

[@paulette44martin]

What a special project, beautiful colors.

[@wandaspencer9523]

Great bowl! I understand your struggles! Fabric glue usually remains quite pliable! I have made fabric container and the item called for is fabric stiffer which dries clear. It hardens the fabric and it maintains its shape! Adding water to the glue takes away some of it stability. The loop handles are cool and love the dangle! Thanks for sharing!

[@49dragonflies]

Great tips, thanks! ❤️

[@margaretschmidt7451]

Well, now I need a fabric bowl!! This is just wonderful.

[@sandikalin636]

Oh my goodness Barbara. I love everything about this basket. You and Luise both are so very creative. Thank you for the free Ephy

[@tanjablume6343]

This bowl is totally gorgeous!!!🥰

[@norrishmj]

That is gorgeous Barbara. 😊

[@clareberlin536]

Late to the party as always... But I'm very happy to be catching the dephemerember excitement. Love the bowl. It works so well. Thank you!

[@chelliebarron2094]

Adorable bowl for scraps!

[@candicepetri2711]

❤❤❤

[@keenDesign64]

Just beautiful and cute ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@risamateo8003]

Love how your bowl came out. The handles were a great idea!!

[@lisalancaster6648]

Oh I love that so much Barbara. Maybe if you cut a piece of plastic or even the carton you showed us and slip that between the layers it may be a little more sturdy but your bowl is fabulous and the charm is gorgeous. Good job xxx

[@rachelpatten8889]

In the US, we have plastic butter or whipped cream tubs the same shape as your basket. Those would give you the same result without endangering your basket. This is a great idea, especially with Ephy on the bottom!

[@carolgefre2643]

How sweet!! I love using fabric. I can't wait for December!!

[@PetraSilaFuchs]

Toll geworden ❤

[@lalagamma4452]

So whimsical and very exquisite!!!! the handles were the perfect addition!! Huge Hugs! Namesta🐞🐞🐞

[@marylackey868]

Love! love! love! your bowl especially Ephy!!😊 now off to watch Luise's video

[@sandyfitchcorbett1782]

Ive been out from watching your videos this summer. Stressful summer. Son has been in and out of the hospital since May and I didnt watch very many artists this summer. Checked in to see what was happening with Dephemerember. Cute little mascot! And I love this basket! Exciting!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! Sorry to hear about your son. I hope he will be ok! ❤️

[@pauletteliddell2923]

Neat basket. Great idea 💙🤗
