Now that I am in my own room and not sewing in the living room, I found myself wanting to toss my scraps in a spot to sort out later. Then came my "brilliant" idea.
I need a scrap bucket.
More like a galvanized tub I bought at a garage sale two years ago.
I love the dent...
I love the dent...
Now that I am getting pretty good with paint, getting rid of the rusty interior was easy to solve.
*I could kick myself for not taking before pictures. Given I am not into inflicting pain on myself, I won't. ;-)*
The fabric needs a few more coats of Modge-Podge. I tied the bows on the handles because the clanking noise they made was annoying!
I am might add some rickrack to the top edge of the fabric. Not sure about that, yet. I welcome any suggestions or ideas.
When it's done, it will be on the floor next to the cutting table. I will be free to cut and toss at will. I feel so liberated!
I'm linking up with Whatever You Want Wednesday!
Wow; so simple, but such a GREAT idea!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a creative person. I love the look of your bucket!
ReplyDeleteAmy, that tub is so perfect!
ReplyDeleteVery cute idea...well done!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to add that I love the fabric tied to the handle. Got any little sheep you could stick on the outside, all lined up in a row walking around the outside of the tub? =-)
