- Follow along with Superior Threads marketing manager Amy Domke as she teaches how to make rope bowls. Rope bowls are simply put, bowls made of rope! Rope bowls are made by stitching rope together, while strategically shifting the rope to create a bowl shape. For a fun addition, you can also add fabric to your rope bowls by wrapping your rope before stitching. We hope you have fun building your rope bowl!

I was just thinking I have too many crafty hobbies and I have to stop learning more. And then UA-cam popped this in my sidebar, and I thought, "Actually, yes. I do need to learn how to make adorable rope bowls, let's goooo."
Dollar tree rope?
😂😂😂you and me. I didn't want to try this but it seems I will have to add it.
Mee three!😀
I love the way the coaster turned out with the fabric!
Amy! I've watched a ton of sewing demos. You're so easy to watch, your kindness comes through.
I love that you made mistakes as you went along and showed how to fix them.
I enjoyed watching this, you are real!! Thanks.
This was the first video I’ve watched of yours. I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you for giving such concise instructions and not spending 20min describing the bowl uses. I appreciate instruction videos that start out with a quick showing of end products followed by instruction, variations, and more showing at the end. This was ideal! Thanks!
This is great idea, I think I can make these , using Christmas colored fabrics and give as presents with sweets in it.
Outstanding demo. Thank you.
Fabulous tutorial 👏I have made several bowls over the years, but your starting method with the straight stitch X and the zig zag X is so much easier than trying to zig zag from the center. Love learning new things, thanks so much.
Curious where did you get your clear table extension that’s attached to your sewing machine?
Lulu, I’m getting pretty involved in this craft and googled extension table for Husqvarna Jade 20, and there is one made specifically for mine. At $99, I will wait a bit longer. Good luck and keep on stitching!
Wonderful video 😊 You are a pleasure to watch. I have just one suggestion...tell us the weight and composition of your thread and your needle size. You gave us all the other pertinent information, but I searched the comments to find all the other information. Thank you so much for sharing with us 💖💖💖
I believe the thread is a 40 wt 2-ply thread (Superior Threads). I clicked on the link in the description box as I was interested to know that also. I can only guess the needle may be a 90/14 or 100/16 to manage the thickness of the rope without breaking. Oh I just realized you posted this a year ago - you probably already have the information
Maybe try to figure that out on your own. I'm sure she doesn't need to hold your hand the whole way.
Thank you for all the tips, especially on the types of rope. And the beginning cross stitches to hold the base securely.
Great tutorial! I've seen these bowls and wanted to try making one, but haven't gotten to it yet. You have rekindled my interest in this with a very good, detailed video explanation. Thank you!
You are a natural teacher. Great tutorial on something i have always wanted to do! You have a new subscriber:) thank you!
You mention that a messy workspace is the sign of a creative woman just as I was saying to myself, wow she’s so neat! You should see my sewing room. ☺️
Such a clever way of getting color in to the project. The variegated thread looks pretty. Without adding an extra step to the project. Thank you for a easy video to follow.👍🏼
That is a awesome instructions on how to make a rope bowl. You have answered so many of my questions. I feel I am ready to make my rope bowl thanks to you.😊🙃
Hello! Another great video! I have had a day where I have been running around doing a bunch of errands and didn't stitch all day so now I'm hand quilting and watching. I hope you have a joyful week ahead. Thank you for posting this video and your creativity.
I used to make these many years ago and even have an incompleted bowl from 10 years ago that I will go and find to complete. Thanks for the inspiration.
Fabric wrapping looks like a good stash buster!
I have a lot of paracord because I do bracelets, I follow your tutorial and use the paracord and wow!! Very stable basket using it .
Would love to see a tutorial on adding bag handles, linings, zippers...Thanks so much!
Yes me too! Would love to see how you fashion a handle out of the rope
Amy, My first video with you! I am going to try these for Christmas gifts. Thank you so much.
I always learn when i see the teacher recover from a mistake. Glad to see how to join rope, snip threads on rope, and ho back if you miss stutches . Thanks.
Great job. Thanks for sharing! But I need to add that your ring is astonishingly beautiful, so simple and the color is so so pretty. I really needed to make an effort to concentrate on your work...
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial! Your explanation of this method was so easy to understand, and I can’t wait to try it!
I LOVE the bloopers at the end - even those of us sewing for years make mistakes and have gaffs! Great tutorial :)
Hi again! I just wanted to say I loved your addition of MUSIC, combined with Fast Fwd, during the (redundancy)! You just make really...nice...(maker-)videos! You seem so relaxed/calm (like friends getting together!), and you have the experience b4 doing the teaching, so that you know what's important to point out, from what you've learned! ...that makes a great tutorial👍😉. The bowls are pretty! Love the variations, inc. thread-play: ) Thanks for the tips on the diff. ropes (I see others commented on it, too) -- you pass-on so much wisdom.....God bless your work, and *keep-on playing*!
Fantastic video and so helpful. Love Olaf!!!!
Very thorough instructions. Thanks for sharing. 😃
Love the bowls and your 💅🏻 nails!
Terrific instructor. So many good tips.
Amy, you are an absolute delight to watch, gorgeous bowls, and just love that hot mess creativity 🤣 Bless you lovely
Love watching you work with the rope. I love the use of the multicolored thread when making the bowls.
Great video! Thank you AND Findley!❤
Hi Amy! 👋 Great tutorial! I haven't made any before, but definitely will try after seeing this!
I haven't made any before, I will try after seeing this, Thankyou deer.
Very clearly explained Amy. Your creativity is inspiring. I'm heading out to buy some macrame rope to have a go myself. Thank you!
Very enjoyable and informative video! You were very thorough and spoke at a nice pace. I have watched several videos on rope bowl making but they always left me with more questions. I feel I am armed and ready to give this a go! Thank you Amy!
Thank you for adding the captions! Great tutorial!
I’ve been watching so many of this videos, but yours did a great job of explaining the different types of rope! Would hate to have my first project not be useable. THANK YOU!
Amy, that was an excellent instructional video. Thanks so much for that!
This is the first video if yours I have watched and you were great! Thank goodness I am on the email list for Superior Threads or I never would have found you. I have a huge box of opened JRs that will be perfect for this. Thanks!
I really enjoyed your video. I've seen others, but you are delightful to watch. Thank you. One of these days soon, I'll make one and show you.
I loved this. Thank you. Cutest dog. I’m going to give this a try. Best regards from South Africa 💫
Very helpful and nice teaching and showing methods 😍
Loved your video. Great detail and you explained everything so it was super easy to follow you guy. Thank you I will be watching for more to come.
I’ve never thought of making one not wrapping the cord, so have to give this a try!
Wonderful video .. I started making some of these using fabric and found if I cut the fabric in the bias, you don’t have all the loose threads .. makes it a neater bowl …
Great video! First rope sewing one I’ve watched and I can’t wait to get started! Many thanks!
Awesome video & beautiful results!!!
Love this tutorial!!! Have had this on my bucket list for a long while…hmmm. Maybe it’s time!?!?! 😊
This is fantastic! I can’t wait to make my daughter some rope baskets for her toys
Very good tutorial, I want to try this. I could not always see the sewing area behind your hands, but I think I got the idea.
Thank you for this tutorial especially showing the different ropes and what to use for a stiffer or softer rope bowls. Your suggestion on using variegated thread is one I will definitely try. This was a wonderful tutorial. I love the bloopers at the end too cute.
Very interesting! I love the Omni V thread
I enjoy watching
thank you for this video, simple to understand, I love it !
Great video! I appreciate the demo on adding fabric as it is something I have done but with mixed results. Thank you!
Loved the tutorial! I'm sure you are making it easier than it looks....at least for me. Sewing on an angle looks tricky. My bowl will probably be a little wonky. However, I have some great ideas for handles, so there's that. Thank you!
Excellent lesson.. love it. Always wanted to make place mats. Thanks.
Great tutorial.
I like to wrap it all first and use my presser foot to hold the wrapped cording as I go..an extra hand ✋
Great tip Carol!
I love making projects with rope...so fun and easy. I also use para cord to make mini bowls....
Lovely... I made a good-sized fabric covered bowl g or granddaughter and filled it with rubber duckies@ it was really cute. Added bath things to it, too.
Great video, explained the various steps so they were easy to understand. I too would like to have your best guesstimate on how much rope is needed for various projects. Thanks!
See my reply above about how much rope you need. So glad you liked the video!
Thank you very much! 😍🙏❤
This was great, thanks!
Thank you for sharing! Very nice!
Thank you. Great tutorial.
Really enjoyed your your video! You’re a good teacher, can’t wait to try this.
Great video!
What a fun project!! Inspiration…you do a great job….
Great video! I'm constantly looking for items to make to supplement our income. You make them look beautiful! Thank you!
Hi there, I absolutely love the look of these bowls but had no idea how to make them. Thanks so much for the wonderful tutorial! Now finally I can have some of my own or gift some without it costing a bundle to purchase someone else's handmade items. You're the best, great job‼‼💯💕
Great tutorial thank you!
I've made a few of these bowls and they are so fun to make. I need to make some coasters also. Thanks for the tutorial....
Great work ! Thank You 🌺🌸
Fantastic video Thankyou I learned a lot 😊
I enjoyed this a lot! Thanks for sharing.
Very pretty baskets! Thx for posting this great video on how to make them!
Awesome video …. I’m excited to try this❤
You can chrochet a basket from the macrame cord ( the large spool from your daughter), the chrochet will give it enough sturdiness and structure 💖
Awesome tutorial with variety of examples, love all your videos; Suggest some more up close views of your other bowls you made and stitching. Stitching views you may want to shoot from right back side.
Love this project. Can’t wait to try it.
This is a great tutorial. You did a great job.
So, if I wanted to do a trivet, I'd just keep doing rounds like a coaster until I got the right size?
Yes. Round and round.
First video of your that i've seen and it's an instant subscription for me ^^ you're a delight and your instructions are very easy to follow
LOVE THIS
I enjoyed your video, thanks Amy, Finley and Olaf 😁 The coasters and bowls look good with that multi colour Superior thread! 💖 I appreciated that you trimmed your threads as you went along. Just a suggestion for the close ups hold it 5 seconds or longer. Thanks again for sharing! 💗🍁
I tried to see if someone else had asked this question, and I could not find it. I was wondering how you do the very steep sided bowls. Whenever I try to do that it’s just such a gradual build of the side. I want to make some small bowls and they always seem to get too big and too wide. I ordered one of your lovely variegated threads, and it worked so well I plan to order some more. I had bought some other variegated thread at Joann fabrics, but it doesn’t seem to stitch as well, especially through the thick, wrapped cord.
Same question! Same thing happens when I make smaller bowls
Upon doing much research, I figured out it has to do with the head of the machine. If you have a large chunk of your sewing machine to the left of where your needle goes and then you will not be able to make a very straight sided bowl. it helps to tip up the bowl as you make it and sort of tug on the rope as you feed it in, but it doesn’t make a ton of difference.
If you hold it up at 45 deg, you will end up with the bowl sloping out as you stitch up. Hold it at 90 deg (straight up and down), and the sides of the bowl will be straight up and down.
I have only made a few but really enjoyed the learning process and will make more someday.
Love your rope tutorial!! I love making rope bowls!!! ❤️😁
What needle size should be used as not mentioned in your video. What weight thread s/b used (e.g., 40wt, 50wt, etc.)? Have you tried dyeing the cording, then stitch with matching/contrasting thread? Can you show in future video how to make ‘open’ handles; would you just not stitch for several inches for opening then continue with basket?
Hey Sandy! I used OMNI V for this video, which is a 40 wt. polyester thread that requires a 90/14 needle. I have not tried dyeing the cording, but I do like to do some natural dyes on fabric, maybe I'll throw some cording in next time! Another video with more options is in the works so make sure you hit the notification bell so you 'll know when it gets posted.
Have you tried dyeing rope? What size rope (so it fits under machine foot), thread weight, needle size/type (jeans, topstitch etc) do you recommend? To reduce fraying, think batik fabrics would work? Does it matter if fabric is cut on bias or straight cut? Would definitely like to see how you add handles.
Very good instruction in rope bowl stitching-thanks for sharing!
I loved the video. Very concise and thorough. Could you please tell me what size needle you use for these projects.
Loved your video, and have subscribed....thank you for great content...
Wonderful tutorial.
Really nice. I see you have an attachment for the upper thread, do you also have something that helps stop changing out the bobbin thread too often?
Lol I thought was my tummy growling😁- your dog.
Sweet Video
Thank you! You explained very well and made it seem easy. I am sure whenever I try I'll fight with my sewing machine 😂
