How to Make a Sisal Rope Bowl*
Grab yourself a vessel, whatever you like. Aluminum handled bowls like this speckled one work great. Also grab a dozen glue sticks, your trusty hot glue gun, and 50 to 75 feet of sisal rope (mine was ¼ inch thick).
Then follow these simple steps:
1) Start with the handles, gluing the first part of rope in place. 2) Finish each handle wrapping the rope as shown, hot gluing every second wrap around. 3) Begin the outside of your bowl by securing an end of rope under the handle, then keep gluing the rope all the way around. 4) Finish your bowl off by wrapping the rope around the inside. You determine how far you want to go, all the way around the inside or half way, it’s up to you. Or whenever you run out of rope . . .
And there you have it, in less than an hour, a sisal rope bowl to call your own.
