Description

Use this tip from Mary Beth Temple to adhere fabric scraps to upholstery cord for making fabric or rope bowls.

Mary Beth suggests cutting fabric scraps into strips that are ½” to 1” wide, to whatever length is possible for the scraps. You can wrap the cord completely in fabric to create a fabric bowl, or wrap a small portion here and there to add a pop of fabric color to a rope bowl. Either way, Mary Beth suggests using a fabric glue stick to add glue to the beginning and end of the scrap strip to attach it to the rope before stitching the bowl together.

While some may suggest any craft glue stick will work, Mary Beth prefers to use a glue stick designed for use on fabric.
