"This one made me laugh right out loud! It has to go on my "to do" list for sure. I am not that good with needle and thread, but I will try it for sure. I can just see it hanging on the tree and people giving it a double take."

"Those are neat, but finding colored cardboard and black card stock would be hard to find here. I'm not sure what could be substituted, other than painting plain cardboard and maybe using school folders, since they come in black? I like the houses, but just don't know about finding the materials."

"I don't use a real tree any more, but I do have a spruce in the back yard I could cut a few pieces from around Christmas. I like the way this looks and I can imagine that it smells good, too. How about putting some of those miniature ornaments on it?"

"I love this Christmas Wave Throw and it is so easy to follow the directions. I have made it in a smaller size to decorate the bottom of my granddaughter's small fake Christmas tree in her room. It looks better than the white fake snow felt that we used to use."

"This Helping Hands Christmas Garland is a fantastic project to do with your kids or grandkids. Gathering a lot of things to use to decorate them can really bring out their creativity. Another way to do it is to cut the ribbon long enough to add a new set of handprints for each child every year, and they can see how their hands have grown over the years. Like marking their heights on a door frame."

When your favorite dishcloth or dish scrubber is just about done it can be heartbreaking. It was the perfect weight and thickness, and it was the only one that got dirty pots clean after making a messy meal. Don't bother trying to replicate it, but instead work up one of your own designs! Red Heart's Scrubby Yarn is the perfect texture, and a worsted weight yarn like this can withstand plenty of grease and scrubbing.

Cutting costs is exactly what will happen by making your own dishcloths, and you get the colors and design you really want. This yarn is more versatile than you would think, and I love to use it to work up shower scrubbies as well as dish scrubs. This yarn is great at exfoliating, so if you use a washcloth made with Scrubby Yarn on your face, you will be shocked at the results. A Clairsonic can run you over $100, while this yarn will only cost a few bucks! Your whole family will love these scrubbies, so try making them in everyone's favorite colors, or, better yet, their favorite animals. Nothing says "bath time" like a fun, animal-shaped washcloth. The possibilities really are endless with this yarn.

Because you will be using these scrubbies over and over again, you might be worried about bacteria build up. However, this yarn is machine washable, and because it is 100% polyester, it will dry quickly afterward. This is great because it eliminates the need for a dryer, which could ruin the shape of your scrubby. Perfect for so many different projects, Red Heart's Scrubby Yarn is a great addition to your yarn collection.
