Instructions in 5 steps Tightly woven. Raysin bowl with cotton cord.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Scissors, small pliers, cotton darner, mixing vessel, poss. sandpaper, hot-melt glue

And this is how it works:

Step 1

Cast the bowl with pierced edge using the silicone mould and 350 g of Raysin by following the instructions on the package.

Step 2

The bowl should be carefully demoulded after drying for about 1 hour. It's best to leave the bowl to dry for several days. If necessary, you can sand the cast edge using sandpaper.

Step 3

Cut 36 strands 40 cm long from the paper-covered cord. Insert a cut strand into each hole in the bowl (36 in all) and bend both ends upwards.

Step 4

Then, pass the cotton cord 8 times through the strands of paper-covered cord.

Important: In each round, gather two paper-covered cords at irregular intervals, so that you can weave an odd number. For the 9th round, pass between the strands of paper-covered cord. Now twist the two paper-covered cord end pieces together at each hole so that the cotton cord is securely fixed in place. Cut the cotton cord at the end and fix the beginning and end in place using hot-melt glue.

Step 5

As a final step, twist the protruding ends of the paper-covered cord, one after the other, to get a wide, sturdy top edge. In between, gradually cut off the twisted and then protruding pieces of paper-covered cord.
