Today's TAKE THAT ETSY SELLER Pinterest craft is the Terrycloth Toothbrush and Paste Travel Pouch... that sells on ETSY for 9.00! this is what we made...
So we started with a set of 2 wash clothes from Dollar tree, my sewing machine and some ribbon from our craft bin.
Step1... open 1 washcloth with "wrong" side facing up. I just used the side with the tag as the wrong size.
Step 2... fold the washcloth from the bottom up about 2/3's of the way forming a pocket.
Step 3. pin sides together just 1 pin will do just making it stay folded
Step 4... Measure 3 inch spaces to form 4 pockets on a standard 12 inch wide washcloth
Step 5...cut a piece of ribbon 30 inches then cut that piece in half so you have 2 15 inch pieces.
Step 6... place the ribbon on top of each other then insert the 2 pieces into one end of the washcloth between the 2 layers about 1/2 an inch and pin that side closed over the ribbon.
Step 7... starting at the end without the ribbon sew up the side to the top of the fold.
you will sew up from the bottom to the top of the fold at each 3 inch mark to form your pockets.
Step 8... sew the final side shut with the ribbon in there, sewing over the ribbon to lock it in.
thats it. Put your toothbrush, toothpaste, hair brush or comb whatever you need to take with you, roll up and tie shut.
Now what the $9 etsy one doesn't have is a matching washcloth to wash your face with! SUPER simple... take the same ribbon, pick a spot on the washcloth(the 2nd one from your $1.00 set of 2) and sew up one end, across the top and down the other side leaving the bottom unsewn to make it "ruffle".
Done. For $1 worth of wash clothes and whatever ribbon you have in your craft box.
