Can anyone explain how to make fabric vases and bowls? Step-by-step instructions please.?

Question

Please do not give me the link to hgtv's page on this. It does not explain how to very well. Any assitance will be appreciated.

(I select best answers myself. Therefore,the most helpful/thorough answer will get the points.)

Answer 1

Find a nice clear glass bowl or vase. Make sure it is clean and clear of lint or dust. Select the fabric you desire and cut into 4 or 6 sections of
about 2 1/2 to 3 inches wide and at least 1/2 inch
longer than the length of the bowl. You will need
either Mod Podge if you want a soft feel or Fabric
Stiffener if you want a stiffer feel. Brush on a coat of Mod Podge/ Stiffener in sections (length-
wise) on the bowl. Also brush a coat of MP or FS
on a section of fabric. Apply fabric to bowl and smooth out all air bubbles. Wipe away excess and
repeat until item is covered. Let dry and apply
a top coat if desired. Hope this helps.
A good web site is www.duncancrafts.com
oops! Fold the fabric over the rim. Apply MP or FS
on the inside of the rim as well.

Answer 2

I won't give you a link, but I will give you a suggestion about how to find the instructions.

I went to the yahoo home page, and typed 3 words to search by.
'make fabric bowl'.
Over a million sites came up. I looked at a few, but they are all so different, you might have better luck looking yourself for exactly what you want.

I also typed in 'make fabric vase', and 45,000 sites came up.

I think you may never get a good answer here, because the question is so specific.
Good luck!

Answer 3

Simplicity has several patterns for making fabric vases and bowls. I believe McCall's does as well. They would have the best/clearest instructions... so i would suggest either going to their websites or going to your local fabric store and getting the patterns.
