After embarking on this project, I felt a just little smug because I was able to justify the saving of tiny fabric scraps from quilt projects. There’s a great tutorial that I watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_7dM6IBPFM which explains the simple method of using denim strips rather than rope for the inner core of your “coils”. My existing supply of embroidery cotton (a lot of which was thrifted) in all the colours of the rainbow, came in very handy too.

You can make the bowls any size your heart desires. And look at the narrow strips (last photo) that can be incorporated! I just knew that I would find a use for all those little bits of fabric that I couldn’t bear to throw out. The denim strips I used were from my Mum’s old jeans (a little sentimental value there).
