Washcloth Storage

In the name of sharing good ideas, I thought I'd pass along this idea I used in a bathroom a few years ago. The concept is really what I wish to share: store your washcloths on the back of the toilet for easy access and organization. Rolling them is pleasing to the eye (for me), and I have heard it saves space, though I can neither confirm nor deny this theory.


Pin It

Ornament Chandelier

Pin It Materials Needed:
16 Christmas ball ornaments
String or fishing line
Scissors



Step 1
For each ornament:
Tie a knot to the eye of the ornament. Measure approximately # inches of line and cut. Set aside.


Step 2
Select one ornament as the base. Gather six ornaments with it and align the tops of the lines. Holding all the lines together between your index finger and thumb, approximately midway between the ends, use your other hand to pull the base ornament down slightly. When you hold it up and let them hang, the bottom half of the base ornament should be visible while the other six rest atop it.



Step 3
Still holding all lines in place, grip the lines just above the group of six and knot.

Step 4
Add to this the next group of five ornaments. If you prefer, you might add more ornaments depending on the size you prefer your arrangement to be. This will affect the overall quantity needed. When you have made the adjustments necessary so they hang appropriately, grip near the top of the group and knot.


Step 5
If following the original template of this design, you should now have four ornaments left. Follow the same instructions: align, grip, knot.

Step 6
To close the arrangement and make it "hangable," allow the length of hang of your preference at the top (just a few inches should do it) and wrap over your finger. Keeping the loop in place, you will now tie a knot pulling that loop through so it remains at the top.



Step 7
Featured in my picture of materials you see I have ribbon and tinsel. If you choose, you may adorn with a bow on top and tinsel throughout. I chose to use only a bow for this particular chandelier.

I hope you've enjoyed this project. This is an original design of mine. I have seen it nowhere else, so I do not intend to be stealing designs. I just enjoy crafts and sharing my ideas with those who share and appreciate similar interests. I'm interested in hearing of any improvements or twists on the idea. Let the creativity roam free!
