ON THE RACK. Here’s a quick project that does quadruple duty. First, it’s a towel rack. Then it’s a photo gallery. Next it recycles some of those pesky jewel cases we seem to collect. Last, it combines all those things to solve a laundry problem. By personalizing a space for a towel for each family member, they can keep track of which towels are theirs and are more likely to hang them up and reuse them. No more nameless heaps of towels on the bathroom floor on bath day.
Clean conscience
ECO SOAP-ON-A-ROPE. Don’t throw away those little nubbins of soap left in the soap dish; they still have plenty of clean living left in them. Collect a few of them as well as a couple of small net bags (everything seems to come in net bags these days!) and make a super-simple super scrubber to hang in your shower. Recycle! Reuse! Exfoliate!
This project takes seconds but can give you glowing skin and a clean conscience for months to come. Cut off the end of two small net bags. Put one bag inside the other for a double layer. Tie one end of the bag closed with hemp or cotton string. Stuff the bag full of soap scraps. Tie it closed with another longer length of string. Tie the ends of this string into a loop for hanging. Enjoy your sudsy, scrubby rubdown.
