Well, no more people!
In a moment of tub-cleaning-
Some reach for their tool box; I reach for my sewing machine.
And within minutes (well, 30 of them) I had created a cute little Shaving Cream Cozy.
A thrifty, easy, glam and eco-friendly way to prevent rust rings on your tub. Forever! Leaving your shower chic-ee clean! Sigh.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS-
Just pop it on the bottom of the can
And place it in your tub.
Preventing a rust ring is a snap! And kinda cute too.
See how the fabric catches the rust, but your tub doesn't?
And since it's eco-friendly, you can just toss it in with your regular weekly laundry!
No harsh chemicals. No rusty rings!
No harsh chemicals. No rusty rings!
{WATCH} the Shaving Cream Cozy do its magic!
Easy Design: Terrycloth with double fold bias tape edge and elastic
Step 1: measure your shaving cream can and cut out a circle about double the size of your can (so in this case, ~4").
Tip: When cutting out a circle, I like to fold my pattern and material in half and half again since I don't have a circle cutter.
Step 2: cut out enough double fold bias tape to fit, and pin around edge of terry cloth circle
Step 3: Sew on the bias tape.
Step 4: Cut your piece of elastic, enough to fit around the can and bunch with the fabric.
Step 5: Secure stitch your elastic, and stretch it as you sew it on with a zigzag stitch around the circle. This technique is a little tricky since you're stretching the elastic and trying to sew it in a circle at the same time, but you'll get the hang of it.
This is an easy, thrifty, eco-friendly way to prevent rust rings on your tub. And we all need something to make tub cleaning a little easier, don't we?!
