DIY Reusable Bowl Covers

Bowl covers keep the bugs out while camping or having a picnic, they are easy to pack, easy to wash, and you reduce your use of single-use plastics and tin foil paper. No more fighting with cling wrap! I also made some for my plates to keep leftovers fresh. Homemade bowl covers can be washed and used again and again.

You can easily customize these reusable covers to the size of your own bowls and plates. It’s a quick and easy project, maybe not for the real beginner, because you are sewing around circles and using bias tape on curves, but when you master sewing straight lines, you can try this. You can do this!

You need cotton fabric (a circle a little bigger than the diameter of the bowl), some bias tape (circumference of the bowl), and some 1/4” elastic (circumference of the bowl minus 5 inch). Gather your scissors, pins, sewing machine with matching threads, and your iron.

Doesn't using fabric allow air to still get to the food? Wondering if I should make these or the waxed fabric.
