That's it! Enjoy!
Eddie: Great tutorial. I'll be going to our nearest WalMart today and will purchase the cording and by tonight I'll be in the wrapped cord bowl making business. I've made cloth bowls before but used fabric templates and surged the seams on the bottom and sides and around the tops of the bowls. Your bowl will be a nice change of pace.
Are you a teacher? Your instructions are excellent as are your pictures. If you aren't a teacher, maybe teaching is something to think about. You obviously are a born teacher. Thank you.
I don't know about your Wally World, but ours do not carry skeins of clothesline any more. They now sell it on plastic frames (see picture below).
I love using batiks (or batik like prints). I make placemats out of scraps (i.e., multicolored). Sometimes I get fancy and put loops all around the outside edge. Pix below.
