Crafternoon: Yarn Bowls

It was my turn to host the Creative Goddesses for a morning of crafting. What to do is always the question. This is a group of the most talented women, so it's a personal challenge to do something unique. I think I found it with Yarn Bowls.

I found this cool craft by ClaCali and we all agreed that it has potential to be so much more. Today we started small.
To make a yarn bowl, one needs a bowl or any rounded object, yarn or twine - thick yarn is recommended, saran wrap, white liquid glue (for our little bowls we each used at least 7 oz. of Elmer's), a cup to hold glue, scissors, newspaper - to prevent mess (I bought a disposable table cloth, and rubber gloves). After covering the bowl in plastic wrap we began.
After cutting several pieces of yarn, long enough to wrap around the bowl, dip individual yarn strings into the glue, pinching off the excess. Then begin winding string from the bottom, pushing down the yarn, avoiding gaps as you go.
Continue until your bowl is covered completely. You can leave it to dry at room temperature for about 24 hours or place outside if it is nice and sunny. Once dry, remove the yarn from the bowl. The plastic should be stuck to the yarn. Slowly and carefully remove the plastic from the yarn.
And then voilĂ  you have another something that you created which you can share with others.
It's not the finished product that counts. It's the time spent in the company of amazing women that makes all the mess worth it. Fun stuff.
