Cut the hessian to fit the bowl.
Brush glue evenly over the hessian.
Place hessian in the bowl and mould into place.
Leave until completely dry
Method 2 (more challenge)
You will also need

Fold the hessian in half and sew both sides.
Brush on the glue and mould into shape around the container.
When semi-dry remove the container from the hessian and fold the rim to the outside.
