Creating your own reusable bowl covers is a delightful way to reduce waste while adding a personal touch to your kitchen. These eco-friendly covers are an excellent alternative to cling film and can be made using simple materials. Start by choosing some soft cotton fabric in patterns or colours that you love. Next, you'll need elastic to create a snug fit around your bowls.

Begin by cutting your fabric into circles, ensuring they are a few inches larger than the diameter of your bowls. Then, fold the edges of the fabric slightly and sew a channel to thread the elastic through. This not only ensures that the covers fit securely but also gives a neat finish. Once your elastic is in place, simply gather it and secure it with a knot.

These DIY bowl covers can easily be washed and reused, making them both practical and stylish. You can even customise them for different occasions or seasons, turning a simple kitchen accessory into a creative expression of your personality. Plus, you’ll be helping to reduce plastic waste—win-win!
