View in gallery For the bowl template, yous volition need to create an octagon shape. With ii pieces of square newspaper, y'all can make an exact octagon without having to utilise a protractor.
- Draw a cross on one piece of square paper, by mark the midpoints on each side and connecting them. Draw an X on the other slice by connecting the corners. Poke a pigsty through the intersections on both pieces.
- Stack the two pieces of paper, making sure the 'cantankerous' ane is on top. Line upwardly the two centre holes and agree them in place with a pencil. Spin the tiptop piece so that its pencil lines match the slice underneath.

Cutting the felt

(By using these dots in the template, rather than cutting and tracing the inward cuts, this ensures that you won't become marker edges on the bowl.)

Finally, the bowl comes together! Utilize a bead to i side of one of the cuts, and so bring that flap around the back until the elevation edges line upwardly (this should create just over an inch of overlap). Pinch the glued border for a few seconds, until the fabric glue takes hold.
