This was a fun project, making fabric embellished bowls and flower style sculptures in Art Quilt meeting. We used sheets of kids foam cut in a wavy circle with fabric sewn on both sides -heat in oven at 300-350 until foam softens, mold around glass bowl and cool. add trims etc. The flower petals are done individually and sewn or glued to a cardboard or wood base. the more quilting the better it shrinks up and curls for a wonderful effect. Caution do not let the foam overheat or burn.
And use an oven mitt to form because it is hot. Moosegirl

Beautiful - any way we can get more precise directions? Possibly even a tute??

Awesome! A tut would be wonderful! :)

so much fun.

Neat

Those are so gorgeous. What a wonderful idea

Those are different. Did you have a pattern?

Those are beautiful, and would like to learn more on how to make them.

Take foam sheet ( kids crafts) cut into a circle with wavy edges. Cut two pieces of fabric 1/2" larger and sew like a pillow, turn right side out-stuff foam inside, close opening and lay flat. Decorative stitch, couch yarn, color thread, glass beads on top side and edge. The more quilting, the better design shrinking. Place flat piece in oven at 300-350 and the foam will soften-Caution do not overheat or burn!! it will start to shrink up. Remove with oven mitt and place over upturned glass bowl to form the bowl shape by pressing evenly until cooled. The flower petals are sewn individually- ransom shape length and with and stuffed with the foam(flat) - lots of line quilting on each petal. Same procedure in the oven-heat, shrink and shape. Stitch or glue the petals to make a flower. Glue to a cardboard base. Moosegirl

What fun, I love them. I wish I had an art quilt group where I live.

I love them all!! Sounds like fun to make too :D:D:D

tutorial would be great if you have the time ~ this would be great for Christmas gifts for those who have it all.

I took some step by step photos for fabric bowls -hope this inspires you. Moosegirl
