Books on Bowls and Boxes etc...
The newest fabric crafting trend is these bowls, boxes, bags, vases etc. I have made bowls and I love them. A nice presentation makes any gift more special.
These make a very special presentation, plus they become a permanent addition to your home decor.
The directions are simple and after you see how nice the first one comes out, you'll be making them every chance you get. They take about 40-90 minutes to complete,
depending on your experience and the difficulty of the piece you are making
