Homemade Duster
Dateline: 02/24/98 A Homemade Duster
Here's a quick and easy project to make something
useful out of your Fleece scraps. You may want to remember this one
at bazaar time!
Materials Needed
- Any color Fleece scraps
- Strong thread or string.
- A 1 foot or longer piece of 3/4" dowel.
- A small screw
Directions
Cut your scrapes as close to 12" by 1/2" strips as you can.
Lay them all in a pile, lining up the ends as evenly as possible.
Wrap a strong thread or string around the middle, as you would to create a pom-pom.
Pull tightly and knot your thread. Repeat this a few times so that it is bound tightly.
Hold the middle over the end of dowel.
Run the screw down through the middle of
your "pom-pom", into the end of the dowel.
The more strips you use, the thicker your
duster will be.
