Hello my
dear readers! It’s been a while that we haven’t talked ,but this is a very
hectic time of year
at work , with exams , corrections of papers , marks etc.
Nevertheless , ‘creation’ can never wait and
fortunately there are often sources of inspiration around that can trigger yet another crafting processJ!
I was browsing
a Home Accessories store the other day
and I came across a very simple but clever idea for storing the toilet paper roll at your
bathroom. I was thrilled, for some reason, by this little make and I decided to
give it a try and share it with you.
I seem to always be attracted to cute , little things one can easily make at home,
using some pretty , leftover fabric and
her sewing skills.
These are
the steps I followed:
STEP1 : choose a fabric that suits the colours of
your bathroom and cut out a circle and
a rectangle, based on the dimensions of a toilet paper roll.
STEP 2 : Sew a hem for the rectangle using a thread of a similar colour.
STEP 3: Sew the two ends of the rectangle in such a way that you form a cylinder .
STEP 4: Take the fabric circle and place it on top of the cylinder and then sew it in a way that you join the two (circle and cylinder together) , forming the case for the toilet roll.
STEP 5: Embellish the case using fabric letters , a tiny bath pattern, tiny towels , little hearts or anything else you may like.
I actually
glued the little fabric patterns on the toilet roll case, but you can sew them
on it.
Anyway, those of you who are good at sewing can create fantastic things and make this little decorative item a ‘gem’ for the bathroom!
Happy crafting then, my dear readers and enjoy the week that starts tomorrow.
Here in
Greece it is really warm and summery and the beach is the place to be for most of the time –if you are lucky
enough to live near the sea!

I love it when craft has a practical use around the home, thank you for this tutorial. Warm and summery weather sounds good, it still feels too cool here for summer. Hx
ReplyDeleteI agree , practicality is essential to me and I try to combine usefulness with beauty -if possible.

Μ'αρέσει πραγματικά αλλά είμαι εντελώς άσχετη με ράψιμο και χειροτεχνίες. Μπράβο Τίνα!

Καταλαβαίνω τι λες. Εγώ ήμουν τυχερή γιατί έκανα οικοκυρικά στο σχολείο και έμαθα αρκετά από εκεί.Επίσης η μητέρα μου έραβε και έτσι ξεκίνησα από πολύ μικρή.
DeleteΦιλιά ,
