craft - Scrubbies/Body Puffs
Scrubbies -- crochet
Material:
1 yard of any color Nylon Net,
preferably soft (only for the hands)
Size J Hook,
(some have used the next up and down.)
Cut material into 2 inch strips.
You use 6 per scrubby.
Tie 2 strips together,
crochet 5 chain,
connect to make circle,
crochet in each space 2 sc.
At the end of the second strip tie 3, 4, and 5.
Crochet in each space one sc.
At the end of the fifth strip tie #6.
Crochet in every other space sc, making sure that
your tied ends are tucked inside.
Any left from the 6th strip, tuck inside.
Makes 3.
Body Puffs --
Buy about
1/4 yr soft tulle,
cut in strip about 5 inches wide & width of material
(can make it double or triple thickness if you wish.)
Stitch by machine down center of strip,
hold onto thread at one end
& pull one thread to gather tulle into ball.
Catch with thread
& tack off so it remains in ball.
If you wish to insert a double length of satin ribbon
before gathering, you'll have one that looks "store-bought".
Would be pretty to layer different colors i.e. light lavender,
dark lavender & purple tulle.
It is folded over and sewn together and the edge has a hem
then elastic is run through it and pulled tight!
There are several of these put together and the elastic is in
the middle.
I like it better then the store bought but I can't sew.
