I made this  8" coiled rope bowl in my smoke free home.  I used cotton fabric and a firm clothesline type rope.  The bowl is not floppy at all. It holds its shape very well. It stands 4" tall and could be used for many things.  Keys, the remote, pretty rocks, beads, jewelry or eggs.  Sure, put some eggs in it and put it in the fridge.  Looks pretty!
