Make a Laundry Monster

Reader Jessica H. from mad in crafts made a space/alien-themed room for her child, and came up with this great idea for a custom laundry bag using a laundry bag she got at the dollar store! She modified the laundry bag by threading a wire hanger through the drawstring casing part of the bag, and then stitched on some alien-ish features and pipecleaner antennae. Fun idea! [click here for Jessica's tutorial]

Project Estimate:

Mesh laundry bag, $1
Scrap felt, on hand
Wire hanger, on hand

Total: $1

How cute is that?! I wonder if my husband would actually put his laundry IN the basket if I made him one of these, lol!

This was one of my favorite projects this year. I just started up my blog, and pretty soon I will have a series on all the craft decor I did for my son’s space themed room. Check it out!

I love your suggestion. I actually have a site for crafty kids, we send out paper crafts in the mail once a month. I’m all about the do-it-yourself projects :)

The 80s Called…
And they want their prom dress flower back. I recently saw this great little tutorial on making ribbon flowers at Make It Do. How beautiful is that? It is perfect for spring and with all the grey, damp, snowy weather we’ve had in West Virginia, I could use something to brighten my days. I bought some ribbon. [...] […]
Tee Dress Fail
Half of the fail in this tee dress is just my body shape/size… I’ve been wanting for eons to make this tee dress from this video tutorial at threadbanger. EONS. So I finally did it tonight, after having some unexpected time on my hands due to the snowstorm. Well, it is certainly easy enough to do. [...] […]
Knot a Flower
Hmmmm, I am beginning to see a pattern with my crafting fails. Whenever I try to make some sort of flowery doo-dad for an jewelry project, I crash and burn. Here’s my latest flaming inferno of failure. I had an urge to go all Martha and make a flower zipper brooch like I have been seeing [...] […]
