Learn how to make Mod Podge fabric bowls the easy way! This is such a cool and easy craft idea, perfect for both kids and adults.

Skills Required: None. This is a perfect beginner craft if you’ve never used Mod Podge before! You’ll be overlapping fabric strips dipped in decoupage medium to make this fabric bowl.

I’ve never made a bowl with Mod Podge, but I’ve always wanted to! I don’t know if you are like me, but I have a list of Mod Podge projects that I want to accomplish but have yet to do, and a fabric bowl has been on the list for awhile.

It’s not difficult and I have plenty of fabric, so it just might be time to make one. Visit the tutorial below to learn how easy it is.

Note: You can use Mod Podge Stiffy for this project instead of regular Mod Podge. Stiffy will make the fabric bowl harder than regular Mod Podge will. It will still work as a bowl with regular Mod Podge, however. I’ll leave it up to you!

Materials

Lightweight fabric cut into 2-inch wide strips- two different patterns
Plastic wrap
Mod Podge Gloss
Disposable container
Bias tape

Tools

Bowl
Foam brush
Craft glue
Scissors

Instructions

Cover your bowl entirely with plastic wrap. You’ll use this as a mold so be sure it’s well covered.
Pour the Mod Podge into the container and thin slightly with water.
Flip the bowl upside down. Paint a two-inch wide strip from edge to edge on the bowl and lay a strip of fabric, print side DOWN. Continue to add strips of this pattern, print down, until the bowl is covered.
Paint another section of the bowl, over the first layer of fabric, as before, this time adding strips of the second pattern of fabric print side UP. Continue until the second layer entirely covers the first.
Allow the bowl to dry overnight.
Once dry, remove the bowl from the mold and peel the plastic wrap away.
Trim the edge of the bowl to the height you want. Add a bead of glue to the outer edge and press the bias tape around the bowl, trimming the excess.
Once dry, fold the bias tape over and glue along the inside edge. Allow the glue to dry before using.
