It's a Wrap

Fabric strips wrapped around cotton clothesline, coiled into shape, and held together with machine stitching become containers in this craft guide. Readers begin with a simple plate form, which teaches the basic method before they move on.

From there, the book presents four foundational container styles that can be adapted to make round, oval, square, and other shapes. Projects include purses, baskets, and bowls, and each can be varied in size, shape, and color to suit the maker's taste.

The book also includes sections on lids, handles, and decorative embellishments, giving crafters room to personalize their pieces and develop their own variations.
