...W.I.P. Wednesday...Another Recycled Onion Bag Dish Scrubby...

...Y'all have seen my little crocheted dish scrubbers before...and they are super easy to make from a recycled onion bag...
...but there's an even easier way...that doesn't require any needle skills at all...you'll need 4 empty onion bags for this project...
...first cut off both ends three of the bags...leaving the one crimped end on one bag...then slip one bag inside another one...
...and then do that again...so that you have three bags stacked together in a tube...
...then roll the tube up into one big doughnut...
...then twist the big doughnut three times...
...to make a much smaller thicker doughnut...
...now take the remaining bag that still has a crimped end...
...and slip it through the small doughnut hole...
...leaving the long uncrimped tail out the other side...
...then gather the loose part and push it back up over the doughut in the center...
...so that both ends are now on top and the doughnut is in the middle...
...and then gather it up and tie the two ends together into a little topknot...
...you could actually leave the crimped end if you want to...
...but I cut the metal piece off...so that I wouldn't accidentally scratch anything with it...and the little topknot makes a nifty handle...
...this is the bottom of the poufy new scrubby...

...what's in your workbasket?...

~Have a lovely day!

    1. Hi Maureen,
      ...this is certainly quicker than the crocheted version...
