Simplystella's Sketchbook 24Savvy Omiyage Blogs Sisal Rope Bowl I once fell in love with a rope bowl, it was by David Stark for West Elm. Sadly that awesome rope bowl is no longer available, bring it back, bring it back I say! My latest crafty project was inspired by that bowl and I believe has something to do with my fixation on neutrals with layers of texture. In fact, I think I need an entire Pinterest category devoted to it. I’ve had that rope bowl on my mind for many months, so I snagged a cheapo metal bowl from a craft store on clearance a few weeks ago, plus a couple of rolls of sisal rope from my local hardware store, and then got crafty with my glue gun. How to Make a Sisal Rope Bowl: Grab yerself a vessel, whatever you like. Then follow these simple steps: And there you have it, in less than an hour, a sisal rope bowl to call your own. Both textural and versatile, rope bowls are a catchall for anything from fresh fruit, to bills, to your collection of quirky matchbooks. Sisal rope is your crafty friend. You can quote me on that.
