8. To coil the rope into a bowl shape, use a heavy-duty tapestry needle and thread it with a long double strand of mercerized cotton crocheting thread. Start with about 10 feet of thread. Begin with the blunt end of the wrapped rope and fold over about 1/2- to 3/4-inch, depending on the ropes flexibility. Allow up to about an inch if needed.

9. Pierce the end of the rope with the needle and sew through the rope right next to it, as if you are sewing shut a letter V. Tie it tightly, because this is the anchor that will hold together the rest of the coils.
