Dressed Up Potholders

These potholders were from the dollar store.  I just dressed them up with a little bit of cute fabric!  Short, easy, and quick project!

Juice Pouch Wallets for Earth Day

Our students were given a drink and a snack each day during the state tests.  We saved all of the juice pouches and recycled them into wallets for the kids for earth day.  I cut open the bottom of each pouch, washed them by hand and then sent them through the dishwasher to sanitize them.  I waited until they were completely dry and then made them into wallets.  Each takes 2 pouches and a small piece of velcro for closure purposes.  They were a hit!  It only took about 4.5 hours to make 95 of them.

 

End Table Protector

This is what I made from a previously loved kitchen towel! First I pieced together scraps I had left from making Valentine placemats. Then I trimmed the thick edges of the towel to eliminate bulk. Next I layered my front and back fabric with the right sides together and then the towel. I stiched the entire way around with a 3/8 seam allowance leaving an opening on one side for turning. I turned the fabric and pushed the corners out. Then I ironed and topstitched the whole way around which closed the opening and gave the project a nice finishing touch. This makes a soft and absorbent protective table covering.
