Feeling creative? Make yourself a cute DIY yarn bowl using just a handful of simple materials you probably have on hand! Looks impressive but it’s so easy to make!
Trace out a piece of cardboard with the dimensions; 4 ½” tall x 5 ¼” wide across the top x 4” across the bottom.
- Use this one as a template and cut out 4 more.
- Make a square from the cardboard that is 5” x 5”.
- Use hot glue to secure the bottom and sides of the cardboard until you make the shape of a bowl.
- Take the end of the yarn and begin gluing it along the very bottom of the bowl
- Continue gluing an wrapping the yarn up the bowl. While applying the yearn to the strips of glue, make sure to lay the yarn down instead of pulling it tight.
Once you wrap the bowl to the top, continue gluing the yarn along the top edge of the bowl so that the cardboard is covered.
- Continue gluing and wrapping the yarn and down the inside of the bowl.
- Without leaving any gaps in the yarn, wrap the inside of the bowl until you get the the very bottom center.
- Clip the end of the yarn and glue it securely to the bottom center of the box.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
And in the picture, the ruler shows 3 inches?
What type of yarn did you use and how much? You do not mention the yarn in the supply list.
ID love to see the chair! I have lots of different types of coverage from jute, Hessian cord, eco dyed yarn/string in a range of beautiful colors. Mix&match would look great.. does the case become unstable over time or does the cord take care of that?
