A very neat way to deal with long scarves. This will keep those "tails" from hanging out the bottom of your coat. I'm going to do this for this winter.
Lengths of fabric that will be easy for you to work with
Sewing needle and thread
What you do:
Collect your fabric and sew start together to begin your rope.
Start to braid your rug as you go decide if you want a round rug or an oval one and sew as desired, this will make it easier to work with.
Make your rug as big as you wish it to be. Place your rug(s) where ever you wish. Don't forget to sew along the inside edges of the rope made. Try to keep it flat as your work progresses.
I found this online and thought to myself: "Self that is one heluva good idea you must share this. It could save a lot of looking for containers to store stuff in the kitchen." My only tip to go with this picture is after you cut the tops off the bottles burn the edges carefully to keep the tops from cutting the bags. Another way to "soften" the edges is take an emery board to them and lightly file the edge. Hope this helps.
What you need:
Empty pop bottles
Snips, to cut tops off
Emery board for softening cut edges
Bags for storage
Anything you wish to store
What you do:
Cut the tops off the pop bottles.
Use your emery board to soften the edges.
Use these tops when you want to store things like beans (fresh or dried), put food stuff in bag, squeeze out the air if using fresh items, put the bag through the bottle neck and fold the sides down. Screw cap on and put your storage item away.
I have been cruising the internet and found a few cool D.Y.I. pictures and wonderful ideas and I want to share them with you. May you find some inspiration in these images.
